I have a load of vinyl wrap here, enough to do the bike twice at least.. one is mirror green and one is a green/gold flip.. anyone done it themselves? what are the pitfalls?
this is exactly why I did it.. I was going to get it wrapped by essential (and may still have to of course) but I cant go there of course. got plenty of time so.. we will seeTry it? I expect you have some spare time and you’ll certainly learn something useful. Then feed back what you find
thanks mate, I gotta say that I think this task is beyond my ability to create an acceptable finish.. ill use the wrap for other stuff I think.Just a tip from someone that wraps cars for a living. Chrome wrap vinyl does not stretch very well so use more pieces which will require more seems. We call them "inlays"
Also you will want to get some adhesion promoter and put it on in areas of high stretch before you put the vinyl on and do post heat after vinyl is on to erase the memory of the vinyl or else you WILL get lifting and pealing. It needs to be at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
