I saw ur front panel gt a small scratch at right side....

actually thats not the only part
some parts werent one piece cover. what u see is i seperate into 4pieces to do e warping.
so kind of bad workmanship unless u have precise cutting.
cheap vinyl quite easy will get dmg by sharp object or hit onto other stuff
other trouble is dont stick well or stick too well causing adhesive left behind.

hope geforce dont follow my footstep hahaha. tink will regret.

I'm debating whether to wrap my side panels and top leh.. might look overpowering with CF..
but got fan vents on the top will make it look inconsistant, cuz cannot cover with CF..
Currently wrapped front panel of my R4 only.

cheap vinyl quite easy will get dmg

Can use clear acrylic spray paint to protect?

Can use clear acrylic spray paint to protect?

eh? i dont think will work, cuz e dmg is cause by accidental knock or press against other object.
and think the color will become different like more dull?

 

[MacClipper]

iirc, clear acrylic spray paint also come in gloss finish and it's cheap too.

 

[sglords]

wad brand to recommend? tink can spray on my gundam also

other than that maybe wan to rewarp my chassis. quite not satisfied with the red parts.
ebay ordered quality quite different from the white which i ordered from taobao.
but need order again. like waste $ -___-

Nippon Pylox Spray Paint - HardwareCity

Choose Clear Lacquer right at the botttom of the drop down menu.

Excellent gloss and colour retention
...
Protects and beautifies

[MacClipper]

You can also get it from other places like Home-fix but it's considerably more ex.
