Is it possible to buy the vinyl which are applied to the faces of cheaper bats? Wish to hide some imperfections and thought this would be perfect for the job.

Why not get a fibreglass sheet rather than the clear one that tends to help to cover the face better

In theory I reckon you could take a picture from the Internet and print it off on some sticky back vinyl. And then put a scuff sheet over the top to stop the colours from running, probably take a fair bit of trial and error and not sure on the longevity of it but might be worth a go

Im sure @shax12 would love to give you a high res shot of one of his beauties. Or just have a look in the best grains comp. Photoshop it into the right shape and size, print it on adhesive vinyl, cover it with a great scuff sheet, and boom, you have a tiny bit heavier lovely looking grainy bat.
Would love to see this project done.
Edit: And you would need a specialized printer, as you would have to conceal the face all the way up. Which would be bigger than an A4 size. Remember if its blank to paste a splice in there somewhere..

While printing your own sounds a bit of fun, I can't help but think a fibreglass scuff sheet would be a lot easier

+1 on the fibre scuff sheet
