How many battery faces are provided in those sets of skins.
I'm guessing 4 or 6?
"Kit includes drone skin, controller skin + 4 battery skins"

Email them about doing only the battery skins for you. I found they are pretty reasonable about custom requests
As my Pop always used to say "The worst thing they can do is say no - but if you don't ask if they can then you will never know if it is a yes!"

Yes, and thank you for that smart answer of my question. It's something that has had me holding back from ordering. I like many of the drone skins, but am keen on having matching battery faces for my current four intelligent flight battery packs, but also would like to have a few (four) extra skins for my future battery purchases. I have room in my Nanuk 945 hard side case, for a total of seven batteries.  And it would be nice to have them, all six spares, matching the one in my drone.  ;-)

I will most certainly contact them through fax or email first and follow up with a phone call, getting the low down.  Particularly of current availability of my choice, and ability to acquire more than the standard four which are included in the chosen sticker set.

Thanks for the smart contact advise. It is something I had already considered, but as of yet, haven't quite made up my mind on a finalized decision. . .
Have you made an order yet? If so, I'd like to see your kit, when you have your stickers in place.  Please Share your kit in the drone fleet thread.

Thanks again.

I like to make all my drones a little special.  Haven't done anything for my Mavic yet, though I do have carbon fiber black & a carbon fiber red skins.

Those look awesome. I never realized who you are, until I saw the names on them drones.

I guess it's wise to use different forum handles on the various drone forums....

That's cool. ;-) Good to see you over here. Hahaha
Enjoy. . .

Why buy skins!?   Make your drone your own, paint your "one of" creation.

what type of paint used- looks professional

Both are sprayed with plastic compatible spray paint. "Ol Black Betty" was sparyed with satin black and "Flamming Flo" with florescent orange. Flamming Flo was pin striped with vinyl tape (ghost flames) first, sprayed the orange on, dry brushed red into the pin striped area then removed the vinyl tape to reveal  the original body.

I ordered this skin: https://www.decalgirl.com/skins/286849/dji-phantom-3-skin-divisor on the 3rd and received it on the 15th (came over the border to Edmonton Canada) - Still have to get them on the bird, but looks promising!

I thought about doing this to mine as it's easier to see in the skies. Right now, I don't have the best eye sight so when I'm peering  into the grey skies, I sometimes lose sight of the bird. All black would certainly help.

I think a black bottom and keeping the white top makes it easiest to see from above or below.
Seems a black top would encourage heat build up from sun?
I know one of my other birds is black and "very" easy to see at distance.
