BrianMaruska 12 Posted January 10, 2013 Being in the paintball industry and playing professionally for a few years in my college days.. As of right now I have yet to find a skin template for the Rotor. For the time it would take to lay one out, design it, cut it, apply it, etc; you're probably better off picking up a new shell online for ~$40 and transferring the impellor/black drive tray inside. If you need some more help with paintball stuff let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster36 327 Posted January 10, 2013 Although buying a new shell would most definitely be easier. It wouldnt be nearly as fun. There are ways to make your own template from something like this. It might be a fun gift for them. What I would do is lay some masking tape or app tape over the part you want to make a template of and trace and trim until it fits. Then scan the piece of tape and import into your program of choice. You might need to add a scale to the scan so you can make sure its to scale when you do the design.

BrianMaruska 12 Posted January 12, 2013 Here is a site that has all the parts.. Not $40 but close to it for a brand new shell on here. If you can get in with a Dye dealer in your area I know the cost on a full shell is only $28. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alien 11 Posted January 14, 2013 For a new pattern like you are wanting I take 1/8 inch grid scientific graph paper and tape it to the item and trim and trace. When you take it off you have the exact layout with reference lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
