I stickerbombed my Cipa Extreme mirror...
 

This is a fad in the sport compact car scene, and I thought it might look cool on my mirror.

I started with a Cipa Extreme mirror, and covered it with black vinyl. This way I can peel all the stickers off in one shot if I want:

Vinyl wrapped and ready. I got the stickers from these books:

Ready for some clear coat.

Cleared:

After I put 3 or 4 coats of clear on I ran a strip of black vinyl along the edge as a sort of seal, and sprayed another couple of coats of clear.

Overall I think it looks sweet, adds some color to the boring mirror.

Some will love it, some will hate it.

Finished and mounted:

I dig it

Thumbs up from me

yup, wife said we're doing it.

looks pretty sweet!!! I think itd be even cooler if it was all wake/sports brands. Like spy nixon LF, that would be so cool!!!

right on tho man.

Thanks guys!

The stickers aren't anything branded actually, they are just like cartoons and graffiti-ish. That would be sweet though, I'm definitely going to start collecting wake stickers.

I'm thinking I might do my tower speakers or part of the cans or something else to tie it in. We'll see.

You should do your whole boat!

that looks great!
i think very much more might be too much though

vinyl was a good idea, those paper stickers are get trashed outside, it looks cool thou

That's why I used so much clear on top of them. Ive had my iPhone case done the same way for about a month and it looks as good as the day I did it

love it. now I know what to do with my sticker collection!

I think if you did your speakers, itd look real nice! I wouldnt do anything else tho!

Next thing you know, people are going to be Be-Dazzling their mirrors!

could you tell us the product you clear coated with? I think this will be a huge factor in this projects success.

I don't know what Ian used but my company makes these sealers for ceramics that might work.

Too funny. I remember "stickerbombing" a PeeChee back in high school. Never even thought about doing it on a boat. Seems like the stickers might fade after some time in the sun.

Frankly I think the idea of applying just the vinyl to the mirror is a good one. Better yet, vinyl with a custom graphic that works with the boat's color scheme!

Love it... Not as much when you stuck it on the boat for some reason. Maybe when the boat is uncovered itll flow better. I dig it though.

What's wrong with just fuzzy dice?

Where did you get the stickers?

wow i was skeptical at pic number two and then wow, it surprisingly looks pretty sick.

I like it! great idea!

pretty sick! i like that..

Where do you guys find this kind of free time?

sport compact style is weird. so glad I am not a ricer anymore.

lol, me too.

My iPhone case:http://tapa.tk/mu/a689891d-4087-1930.jpg


I just used some Krylon "double coverage" clear coat from home depot. It's super thick, and dries really fast. Seems to work really well.

I'm definitely glad I got the SpeakerSox for the mirror to protect it from the sun.

think it looks awesome. willing to bet your the only one on your lake...or almost any lake. good way to personalize your boat

I think it looks great. At the same time I would only do it if the boat had a wrap of some sort. I think it would stand out to much on a plain boat. NICE JOB though.

I might do that to my iphone case haha. we have the same phone, and the same case, so i know what itd look like haha!

I think it looks terrible...lol! But it's all about diff'rent strokes for different folks. much props on the quality of workmanship though.

So that's what all the cool kids are doing. Interesting.

looks good ian, saw a kid do this to the center cousel of his STii and liked it then.........would really have to plan out the stickers though

I actually like it alot. Well done.

What about doing it to your board? Thoughts?

Where did you get the vinyl for the mirror?

Thought this was going to be a tacky idea until the picture where its ready for the clear coat and then the quality workmanship made it look good. It creates a cool contrast but I definitely wouldn't do anything else on the boat to match it.

Wow, yeah.... Really cool man. I like it.

I'm actually a pretty understated person, lol.

I just used some left over bulk from some stickers I had cut by a friend. Same material they use with a vinyl plotter.
