I found some adhesive vinyl automotive sheets online a while back and ordered some samples the other day. Well, they came in and I found that the Burlwood vinyl was just so damn classy looking that I had to see what it looked like on my P10. Poor girl has been soaking up some damage from some inadvertant drops and a few scratches. I was just going to buff them out, but after testing these sheets, I'm going to stick with this.

I did a review of the supplier and products here:

Just one sheet is more than enough to re-skin my poor, abused P10 dozens of times. It's not expensive either ( average around $5 ). It is barely noticable as far as the thickness of the vinyl is concerned. It has a flexibility like electrical tape and the adhesive is super strong stuff. It peels of clean but takes some effort. Not likely to peel off through wear.

The burl really looks real too. Has a sort of 3D type look to it. Doesn't look fake like some others I've tried. Now it matches a few of my pistols, my old humidor, and quite a few of my pens and pistol grips.

I thought that the bare P10 was beautiful ( and she was, before the battle damage ), now she's beautiful and protected. The vinyl is really some tough stuff. It was designed for automotive use after all. She was a Rolex of PVs....now she's a Rolls Royce :)

Nicely done. I was actually thinking of using Walnut Burl Veneer but was doubtful of it's strength and structural integrity over time

The stuff seems to be pretty durable so far. Its seeing some "no holds barred" use. Been banging around in my cargo pocket with my keys at one point. Meant to set it my inside side pocket and ended up dropping it in my large pocket with my "high school janitor" key ring. Wandered all through walmart with it clanging around, got back in the car, went to pull it out and had a mini-heart attack. Not a scratch or ding on it. Then I go and let it slip out of my hand and it falls between the car seat and door. Poor P10 is just taking a whoopin but still looks untouched. I'm really liking this stuff so far.

As to being a high rollin Vegas gambler....I can look the part, but I'm so broke I can't even pay attention. Rollin pennies for gas broke, but I got vapes. :)
