anybody any experience of either, after an idea cost wise, benefits etc looking for a matt black either wrap or paint
http://1000rr.co.uk/mods-upgrades-accessories-products/7488.htm I'm goign the wrapping way. price from Bristol blue customs to me is between £350-£750 for all singing blinging Wrapping will hold up to the elements much more than modern paint and why i'm going for it. plus if you get board and want to go back to the start it's simple to do
I'd go the wrapping route for the above reasons. I'd also recommend chalkiesdecals.co.uk aswell to do them as he won't be to far from you or as he is now mobile may well be able to come to you, plus he does very good work, recently in super bikes magazine with an 848 Evo he did for them.
We went to a demo at a vinyl printers is Bristol last week and the quality of the vehicle wrapping was stunning.
When I had my duke I done a different scheme Every year, all wraps.very easy to do and cheap. This was as I was applying the last set of decals And fitted There was more done but I never took any pics.....then removed them all and sold the bike As standard
Yeah I'm pretty convinced the wrapping route is the one I'm going to take, Phantom pics look awesome! Would love to do it myself but not sure where to start... I'm looking at a matte black base and then probably go with some logos etc...are the logos printed in the wrap or are they stuck on afterwards? Sounds like it may cost a bit then!!
they are just stuck on logos.its really easy to do,loads of guides on youtube but you basically need panel cleaner,squirty bottle that can do mist filled with water and a couple drips of washing up liquid,hair dryer and a really sharp knife.clean the panel, spray the mist on,set on the decal/wrap and move to position then when you are happy use a flat edge like a bit of cardboard to push out all the air bubbles and then form it round edges with the hairdryer.leave overnight to bond and the jobs a good one.
I had that conundrum earlier this year when i wanted plain white to add race decals afterwards. It was £200 for a plain wrap or £200 for a gloss white paint job. I opted for the paint job on the grounds of the shiny finish.
qrapping is not a easy job to do yourself. you can get matt, gloss, pearlescent or chrome and gold check out here MDP Supplies | Sign Vinyl - KPMF VWS1 Matt Vehicle Wrapping Film
