Here is another set I found a photo for. 1968 Rogers Celebrity. It came to me with blue strata pearl that was totally shattered and was delaminating on the bass drum. I had red glass glitter put on it. It was a real looker with the new wrap.
Here we go.... Show us your restored/ re-wraped drums
Red Glass is such a killer finish!

I snuck in the back door using my cell phone to see the pictures of your set John. I like that dark Capri pearl a lot. Sure would like to get some of the new Mardi Gras, but the manufacturers are withholding it from Precision as "exclusive" to Gretsch, DW and Chicago drum companies.

My shells were the first ones that Precision covered in the new Capri. The wrap hadn't even arrived at Precision yet when I ordered mine. They asked me for photos of the finished kit and they had it featured on the page that was dedicated to advertising the new wrap. It's all been changed now and no sign of the new wrap, or the photos of my kit. I wondered what had happened. I really lucked out and got the wrap just as it arrived and right before it disappeared apparently! I love it. It's a rich looking, beautiful finish. I play em everyday.

My 60's orphan's Slingerland rewrap. Jammin Sam's Vintage Sky Blue Pearl
These Round Badges came to me covered in red paint (Aqua Satin Flame underneath). I tried like hell to restore them to their original state but all of the cracks and spiderwebs common to that finish trapped the paint. I made the decision to rewrap in a vintage WMP and have never looked back!

Two sets I did with Jammin Sam's wrap. There's times when rewrap is the only option:
