Your gonna have to put up pics of that CiCCO.......im sure its gotta look better than it sounds???
what u think if u look close u will see the tank was a bit of a fuck up but for my first time it came up ok got some people tripping out at the track hahaha
how much did that cost mr cicco?
Rev the fucker!!!!!
Gaining momentum.
Have completed installation courses with Avery and have 4 old dungers already lined up for some work.....just need the bloody shed finished. If its not raining up here or the daytime temp gets warm enough to melt ice then I'm definitely at work or a bloody 3 year olds birthday party.
Have gotten interest from local rodders to do;
66 Thunderbird in pearl white
66 Mk1 Cortina 2 tone pearl white roof blue body
58 Customline that already has a $25k paintjob but owner not happy with the colour
200sx that had its resale destroyed when someone pointed a spray gun at it loaded with PINK paint.
Doing the roof of the Cortina later this week. I'll put up some pictures. Will soon be looking for anyone interested as a guinea pig to do their bike. And believe it or not there are more colours available than just CF look alike film.
I spoke to a mob here in Sydney about carbon vinyl wrap for the bike last week
I was told due to the angles and lack of surface area that it will last about six months...
Paint it is!
Not true. The Market is flooded with the stuff, cheap and counterfeit. DO NOT buy 3m from ebay sellers. 80% chance its counterfeit with 3m logos and all.Originally Posted by Cruisecontrol
If prepared properly and a quality film like 3m 1080 or Avery Supreme Wrap is used then you wont have problems with adhesion or longevity.
Talk to this lot up your way. http://www.carbondemon.com.au/
Haha, do you want the email that carbondemon sent me that said six months?

Aido, im pretty keen to wrap my racebike mate.
Was trying to get it quoted a while back bet everyone was really sketchy with price.
If you still have my numbers give me a call!
Try speaking with 3M or Avery directly ask for their state rep. Find out directly from supplier what they can and cant do or suit. All else fails try this number 0400107615. fellas name is Nelson he is a rep for MEP Films (window tinting) he has a few contacts in the industry and is very helpful.
Hi all,
Been a while since any update on this thread, Anyone got any stories of shrinkage or peeling on their bike bits? Curious to know as I saw wrapping as a good alternative to painting a whole bunch of parts on my project. Cheers.
Well the parts I have done on my bike seem to have lasted so far I was a bit skeptical in the begining of longivity but 2 years on and a fair bit of riding its all good sure its not as good as paint but is pretty cool dano come to mt helena tav tommo for lunch I put a thread up for it and have a look at the pieces on my bike
Hey Hyo sorry missed the post but cheers for the invite anyhow. I have the bike in a million bits at the mo but I'll be putting it back together soon once I have set up the new rearsets, which of course will require a good ride and possibly catch up next time to take a look. Cheers.
A few years back there was some freak on here that built a set of brake rotors out of CF for some other freak on here, they were truly awesome...CF wrap was not really an option. Now days that other freak prefers titanium , and goes shopping at Aldi on his Honda.
holy shit
It was only the centres that were carbon. I love my wolverine style leg. And you meet the nicest people on a honda at aldi.
I would ride it up to see you, but you aren't nice.
more titanium than my bike
bwahahaha
