That flower style is pretty slick.
Safety First Racing uses "wraps" with their racebikes and offers it as a service I believe....

You can do some pretty slick stuff using wraps since you are not limited to masking techniques of paintjobs.

Looks like a Metal Mulisha bike.I like it.RyanITV;36008 wrote: Dunno - paint used to run me between $500-600 for a straight color, black lower and plates. Could also take 2 weeks - this takes an afternoon. It could go either way - if you're more of a DIY person or have a friend to help, it'll save some $$.
Here's another - used less than 2 panels, so $200...

one of Safety First's sponsors is a wrapping company that does trailers, trucks, cars, & bikes
i looked into getting it through them and it was about 500-600 for a completely custom design (meaning you didnt have to pick from a certain template)...........that price included installation, you just have to send em your bodywork

It should go over gelcoat, primer or paint. The only time I've seen an issue was with some Cheetah bodywork where they had mold release compound that caused the primer to flake off... ended up needing to sand it all off and respray in order to wrap.Burnall4;36182 wrote: so these need to go on a painted surface or a will a primed surface do?
And don't go saying a primed surface is a painted surface, because there is a difference

Ok well how about you guys installing it on bike, what would be the cost then? Or is it just that easy to install?

It's pretty easy to install - we showed Crisamore how to do it in the rig @ Beaver last year; within 30 minutes he was doing it on his own.
Biggest thing is heat and an extra set of hands. I've got some rough video footage of Mark and I doing some installs for the curious... just PM me for the links.

From our testing, it seems to be better. Paint is rigid and prone to chips - the vinyl is pliable, so it's like the clear bra stuff they put on cars. Granted, it does still get affected over time, but its much less. My basis for comparison was the paint on the lower of the 848 versus the wrap on the lower of the 1098R.
