I re-covered a set of Slingys that had the "copper" wrap. Turns out it was steel that had been copper plated and over time, pitting was coming thru where the clear coat they used had worn off. Nothing to be done at that point because removing the metal wrap messed it up. We covered them with black pearl. Copper is very soft so it would be tricky stuff to work with and have come out smooth not to mention trying to coat it to protect from tarnishing.A while ago I was investigating acid treatments to different metals like sculptors use. Copper would look cool with some of these treatments. Go for it!

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Perhaps search for a more typical plastic/pvc wrap in a copper color ? Just a thought. I have never wrapped in a chrome, copper, black chrome, etc. wrap...but I can tell you, after unwrapping some...I would NEVER wanna work with that stuff ever again. It isn't user-friendly....[/COLOR]

I will have to check out some different thicknesses to try and get the thinnest copper possible while it stays smooth on the drum and doesnt have the wrinkled look like foil. There seems to be a lot of clear coats out there that are made for copper. I would imagine a regular polishing and adding a new layer of the clear coat every year or so should keep them in good shape.
