Richard, the stuff is called "Vinyl wrap". It comes in a huge array of colors and patterns, uses heat to shrink it to fit and get it to adhere, and I believe just peels of when you are tired of it. Life expectancy is not what good laminate is, but it looks so easy and I think is very affordable, so you can have a new color every 4 years or so. You can apply it yourself, or have a shop do it. It is used extensively these days on cars and motorcycles, as well as with printed advertising to cover the box on delivery trucks, vans, etc.

I used regular adhesive backed Oracal sign vinyl on mine. I had a graphic ad shop cut it for me and add transfer tape. I already had the necks off too.
It's a little tricky the first time. I learned a few tricks for the next time.

Appreciate the post guys, and for showin the pictures of your Carter Chris. I'd like to change my Mullen pre RP from red to a black, or maybe a nice dark blue, or maybe even a Maroon, with 3 silver crosses in the middle of the front apron. Think that could be done? I know we have at least one sign shop here in town, and an auto body shop, and a detail shop. Maybe one of those three could do it you think? And it's great to just have to take the key head off, I like that!
