I'm thinking about putting a skin on my Mavic Pro.
Being 70+, I'm concerned on how difficult it is too do.
Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.
This is what I have in mind.
Thanks.

Depends on how crazy you're attempting to go. You can either do a sticker skin like the video below shows or you can try and paint it. Painting would be the more difficult route but if you've got the patience and time then in my opinion it would look better. Although the sticker skins they sell are fairly impressive.

Nothing wrong with personalising your drone - I like the carbon skin

I'm thinking to go with the vinyl skin.

Sounds good hope it works out great. You should post pics in the forum once you get it done.

Would love to see how it comes out when you get it wrapped!

If you are worried, just get 2 of this cheap skin: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=129319 If you mess something you can have replacements

After installing mine, I think the most difficult part are the batteries and the two front lateral stickers (because they are curvy). All other ones just require minor alignment by any side.

Air fix paint it like we did as kids to the models we built, won't be much weight.

Bit vain though don't you think.

agreed! I just printed the skin and tried the other day, the batteries were the only part I messed up on.  I actually removed the stickers re printed them and still couldn't get them perfect.

I didn't want to skin the entire thing so i just did the body. Plus I was running out of patience doing it anyway!

printed? what do you mean

I order two sets of the orange skins fro China. They were cheap enough... in case I make a mistake applying.
Will post pictures when finished.

That last leg sticker was a b"gger, wasn't it!

I went for Yellow Snakeskin from Drone Wrapz. Hoping to do it any day now, after a spot of decorating is done!

Not too successful skinning the Mavic.
I guess I don't have the patience.
I'll leave it without the skin for now.
