Advice needed: Wrapping a coffee grinder

[MrSorensen]

How would you go about wrapping an old Italian espresso grinder like this



Thanks for any suggestions and advice!

Print or a color change?
If color change, I would use 2 pieces. Front and top one piece (If material will stretch that much, hopefully you will use cast) and the sides and back in one piece.

the front has a lot of curves to it, might be best if that is its own piece. and wrap the front last so any seams will not be on the front face. you can wrap the front, sides and back with one piece with a joining seam in the back. then slap something on the top

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, guys!
This will be my first using wrapping vinyl, so I'm quite exited and quite nervous for the result. 
Any good tutorials on how to make seams look good - or at least less crappy?

I would clear-coat the aluminum body and just do panels, allowing about 1/8" of the aluminum to show through where a seams would be (at the corners).

Automotive paint and some old school pinstriping would be the best thing for this unit. Wrapping it will just make it look cheap, imo.
