TheGoalNet Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 The level of detail on mask wraps is be coming crazy... I think the use of these is going explode soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Here’s more... Really practical technology for 1 single game or special event. From memory, DaveArt offered this awhile ago and it never caught on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I had DIY “wrap” and it just did not work. I know that wraps are the wave of the future. Shawn Schroeder predicted custom foam and wraps awhile back; so far- THAT seems to be coming to fruition. As long as the wraps last reasonably and don’t cost an arm and a leg with tonnes of detail... That being said- my Bea Arthur, Easter Bunny , Ric Flair, Greg Lemond and Lance Armstrong fighting with a Satan who looks remarkably like a rabbit will be done by DaveArt in PAINT! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 @bunnyman666 - Shawn was / is Olympia Composites? Can’t remember which company his is with I believe the only non-Pro with a DaveArt right now is Kane Van Gate. I think you’ll need to fly to Sweden and bike to his to barn and hold him hostage to get a mask! Again, something else I’d pay to watch. Maybe you could start a Kick Starter campaign and have it filmed?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is/was closely tied with the Maltese guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am kidding about DaveArt; if my paint project gets off the ground, you will know about it! I am not announcing the artist or scheme publicly until I have a suitable spare secured. Though Bea Arthur may make an appearance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to put into perspective, I was quoted a difference of $200 between a paint job and a wrap job of the same design. $50 extra if I wanted my backplate wrapped as well.

MTH Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I used vinyl wrap on my mask. It's hard with the contours and not wanting to cut the vinyl by pressing your knife onto the surface of the mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULTIMA Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 This is gonna greatly affect the smaller mask painters out there. Furthermore, I was warned by more than one mask painter that these wraps remain solid even after the shell has been cracked and/or compromised. So the paint would still look fine but you wouldn't see the damage underneath unless you saw it from the inside of the mask. Looks great. But I don't trust it.

Even more shocking is when we leased my wife's Hyundai last year, the dealer asked what I drove. I told him a Subaru.

SaveByRichter35 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 In all seriousness though, he does have a point. I can definitely see a shell getting damaged and then not seeing the damage because of the wrap. On the other hand, I also feel that a puck impact of that nature would rip the vinyl so its probably moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first thing I noticed when I was on the Porsche lot was how little pressure there was. I guess they either a) don't have time to rush to try to sell to every single person on the lot who can't afford it anyway and b) know that if you want one, you'll buy one. No need to sell to them. We were on a Honda lot (looking at a Volvo they had on the lot) and man did they ever try to get us in a Honda. Umm.. no? LOL I also had some local Chevrolet dealer spam me on Twitter a few months ago asking what it would take to get me to "upgrade" to a Chevy. Uhh...

My understanding is that a high end wrap will cost around $300 and any certified paint job will cost around $500. $300 for a sticker feels expensive, but it's 40% less than paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the price difference between a wrap and paint is about $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Potvin was $300, the Star Wars mask was $470 (that includes powder-coating for both cages). I thought I remembered it being high-300s.

Imperative Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Guys with Wraps, how do they hold up to the impact of a puck? As a short Goalie I get hit a lot on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 So far - really good. I have scuffs from pucks on the vinyl but no tear. I've had it on for a few months now and see both ice and roller pucks every few days. The one flaw is that at the edge of the mask at one location is curling back a little. It's from me putting the mask in the mask bag and not from use. I spent like $15 in vinyl wrap and a few bucks more for a big decal of a rampart lion (my mask is Scotland flag themed).

motowngoalie Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I have a wrap kit from Custom Cages (so not a full wrap, but probably 3/4 coverage) And it's held up great so far. With the benders I play with I average a shot to the head about every game, so far nothing more than a few scuffs on the decals, no rips, etc. One thing I have noticed though is bubbling. No matter how well you apply the wrap, it's gonna bubble eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly35or00 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 A goalie I coach in Lacrosse recently got his mask wrapped in our team colours. Mario Design out of Barrie. They seems to do a majority of CHL masks. Works looks amazing in person and I don't think this guys process will allow for bubbling. https://www.mariodesign.ca/goalie-mask-wraps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastguy111 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 if the wrap is printed on a premium cast vinyl and protected by a cast laminate, it should hold up for years. Wrapping vehicles, if taken care of can, can last the owner/business up to 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
