Step-by-Step Process

1. Fabricating the Foundation

The base of the trophy was crafted from high-density foam, chosen for its durability and robust cell structure. This material allowed for precise shaping and ensured the structure would be sturdy.
‍

2. Applying the Hard Coat

A layer of hard coat was applied to protect the foam from impact and wear. This coating also provided a smooth surface for the subsequent steps.
‍

3. Sanding and Preparation

Once the hard coat dried, the trophy was carefully sanded to achieve a flawless finish. Any imperfections were addressed to ensure the surface was smooth and ready for its final layer.
‍

4. Creating the Sterling Silver Effect

To replicate the original trophy’s sterling silver appearance, the structure was wrapped in chrome vinyl rather than painted.
‍

• The vinyl was applied meticulously to avoid air bubbles or imperfections.
• The surface was cleaned and prepped to ensure a smooth application.
• Edges and seams were carefully aligned for a seamless look.
  ‍

This method ensured the replica mirrored the reflective, high-quality finish of the original trophy.

The Finished Product

The completed Vince Lombardi Trophy replica exceeded expectations. Its mirror-like finish, precision craftsmanship, and attention to detail made it indistinguishable from the original. The client was thrilled with the result, praising the accuracy and quality of the work.
