They are not cheap for a good one. You would need one that does at least a 15" wide roll. Good vinyl is thin and conforms to curves. Heck, they wrap entire cars with it. The BEST think about using vinyl? Get tired of the color, change it! The tape job I did on my Trek lasted for years before I sold it. I told the guy who purchased it he could easily remote it, but he plans to keep it also.

I have a Roland GX24. That's close to $2000. You can find small tabletop units much cheaper.
