1. Background
I first saw a photo of this skin on a foreign forum and was immediately hooked. After some digging, I found out it was from BASHER SKINZ.
The price was a bit steep (definitely "wallet-hurting" territory), so I just kept it in my eBay watch list for a while...
Then, a discount popped up! Plus, I had a random $5 coupon from somewhere. I felt like I’d regret it forever if I didn’t buy it then, so I finally pulled the trigger.
2. Packaging
It arrived in a sturdy mailing tube like this.
The shipping took nearly a month (Ordered Feb 23 → Received March 19). The wait was the hardest part!
3. Preparation
I debated putting these on my old "basher" body, but I wanted this to be a proper "shelf queen" (for now), so I ordered a fresh set of nylon body panels.
I gave them a good wash with dish soap to make sure all the oils and residues were gone.
I’ve been really into white lately, so I went with white panels, but after seeing the final result, I think black or blue might have popped a bit more. The decals are pre-cut, which makes the alignment process much easier.
4. Completion
I’m not exactly a pro at applying decals, so my hands were shaking a bit during the process!
To prevent the edges from lifting, I went over everything with a heat gun and pressed them down firmly with a squeegee.
One minor "oops" – since the body is white, the tiny gaps between the decal pieces stand out a bit more than I expected.
The material is very thick and has a high-quality glossy coating. Aside from the high price tag, I’m super happy with how it turned out!
