wraps....instead of paint

[pommie02]

has anyone had anything to do with vinyl wraps...instead of painting a bike...face it graphix do it, but I have not seen an actual bike covered yet

Saw a Buell done in wrap and looked great. Got a photo of a Speed Triple with Carbon wrap but didn't look anywhere near as good. I think they were both at the Storey Bridge bike show last year. Buell belongs to a pommie bloke on the northside of Brisbane if he's still got it.

i looked into this myself not that long ago and was going to do my bike in the 3M carbon , but it worked out cheaper to get it painted , the product its self isnt that expensive 99 buck for a 1200 by 1200 sheet but it is a labour intensive product to put on , i thought about giving it ago myself but after watching a few youtube clips of it being fitted it will take some time and effort , after talking to the bloke that does it over here in the west its the labour where the price comes from and 7 years is all that it will last and still need to be looked after but i spose if you dont like it its as simple as pulling it off , i was quoted over a grand to do my tank rear section front gaurd and light surround with no fixed price as he was unsure on the time so it was a ball park figure could be more , but i can get it painted black with a red set of stripes and a red pearl over for around 850-900

this is just my experience could be cheaper for yourself there are some wicked prints out there and some you can design your own which would be wicked this is my personal favorite and if i didnt go carbon id do this
