I would probably not mind having a “Vargas girls greatest hits“ wrap on my tuba bell.

I haven't been on this forum in almost a year, and I just saw this. This is incredible, and exactly what I hoped for! I might have to try this some day. Also:

When done on cars, actual body shops offer this as a service; so instead of cans, they use the actual professional spraying tools to get a good coat. Might not be worth the cost, but never know how much it would cost really, especially if you're just having them do a bell.

I'd like to put a vinyl wrap on a tuba that mimics the appearance of carbon fiber, so people would think my tuba is extra cool.
Razor-blading around the brace feet would be tedious, but do-able.

I guess I could spray paint the bell interior flat black, and cover that with a satin clear coat.

The only problem that I could foresee would be disguising the kranz. Carbon fiber bells don't feature those.
