Wrapping method?

Post by micpec »

Hi all, anyone done wrapping of his/her motorbike panels before? Meaning the standard panels are covered with a large vinyl sticker layer. Such wrapping is done often on cars,
but I have not seen it on motorbikes? Is it costly? And pros and cons to a paint job?

Idea found on a car: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... 3+car+wrap

There was a guy on the Performance Bike forum who did it on his 954 'Blade. I looked really cool too. I'm thinking of getting it done to my scooter.

Well, they say it is easy to get it on the panels, except for the tank and it lasts for 2 to 4 years in normal conditions/usage and fuel proof.
But on a car it costs some well dosh of cash...have seen prices knocking around 1.5K and more, but this should be a lot less for a motorbike, right?
