@@CynthiaWilson-xm5zh Thanks for watching.

Looks great! I'd look into going past a car paint protection film (PPS) application company and ask then to do either a Matt or the shiny regular PPS on the stick!? It'll be cheap as the sticks are small and they can use offcuts! If it protects million $ super/hypercar paintwork against chips etc at high speed it'll protect yr stick! Also ultra thin so most probably won't need play with it at top and bottom fitting grips and into floor... Vinyl gets sticky messy, not? Hope that helps! Love your channel. Blessings Andrew B

That’s exactly the product I’m using, I may have used the wrong terminology. I found a trim sized roll of this stuff on Amazon. It’s a Satin Black color almost the same as what I painted the control sticks.

Have you thought about using heat shrink tubing on the sticks rather than vinyl wrap?

[@aviationkitbuilder]

The stuff I’m using comes in a ton of colors and sheens and such which I liked. It actually is somewhat of a shrink wrap in that it tightens up and activates the adhesive with heat.

"I don't plan to remove it again..." bwahahaha... ahem... er... uhm... best of luck with that. As someone who has had those very same words exit his mouth... there's ALWAYS something to remove to resolve. :D

[@aviationkitbuilder]

Thanks for those kind words of encouragement. I will not remove the panel, I will not remove the panel, I will not remove the panel….That works right.

@@aviationkitbuilder I’ll let you know when it does. I’m 15 hours into phase one and am holding my breath.
