Hi Randy,
I did the vinyl myself. I did pay a fellow who used to have a sign and did vinyl signage on the side of semi trailers to come for a day and helped me cover one wing. After he gave me the general procedure I went on from there. Couple of details: After fully assembling the plane I took the wings and tail feathers off and covered each piece including the slats off.
I used not quite 2 full rolls of 3m vinyl (5’x75’) that were about $575 per roll.
The two rolls weighted about 2 gallons of paint.
Buffed skin lightly with alcohol and like a 3M pad that was not very abrasive, wiped off and then spayed the skin again with 91% isopropyl alcohol and wiped again.  This proof has no residue.
This was done in July 2015. Has been in a older hangar since then and wiped with a cloth looks just like it was installed.
Very compound curves are not easy in one piece with this particular vinyl. You squeegee this vinyl on as you remove the backing different than big sheets of vinyl they just lay on a car and squeegee it down. You can heat and stretch or shrink this vinyl.
Easy to repair but can be cut while paint is scratched.
Does not like gasoline for any length of time but ok if you wipe off.
Glad to send pictures if you wish.
Paint takes 90% preparation for 10% spray.
Vinyl is 10% preparation and 90% application.
Regards, Rock
