Vinyl wrapping my NTV!

[Phoenixx]

Vinyl wrapping is a great way of changing the colour of your bike without getting rid of the original paint. I've done a quick visual here of my NTV in black and white, and I'm not sure which one to go for. I think I like the white better though

I've never wrapped a bike before, though, so it's going to be a challenge! The most challenging part I think is going to be the lip that runs all the way around the bottom of the tank. It's the maker or breaker! If I can't do it, I'm not going to do any of it. To have any red showing through still would make it look unfinished and i'm not one to do things by halves.

Quite looking forward to it though! >

The link to my visual! (don't mind the wonky lines, I didn't spend a lot of time on it) Leave me your opinions on colour!

If I do succeed, I will be posting pictures of the whole process and it finished ^^ Wish me luck!

I like the idea and will be interested in your pictures.

I do like the two stripes, just not sure on either colour.

I am sure others will chip in..

Well the white and black are the cheapest options... I did consider yellow then changed my mind, as I reckon that's a bit TOO lairy But I'm really not too keen on the original red, it just looks a bit faded now

Thanks for the feedback

BLACK is always better................never white..........too much to clean

[Phoenixx]

Hehe I have thought about that, but what is it to give it a quick wipe off with a damp rag? Takes two seconds!

What about black with silver stripes? Slightly less contrast, so might not stand out quite as much as the white??

[Phoenixx]

Mmm I suppose that's something to think about... I do quite like the white, though

Can you get gold Vinyl.

[Phoenixx]

Yeah we can, and ooooh that looks really smart!

But, update guys, I have wrapped one of the side panels white So I'm pretty committed now If you don't all see it now, wait til it's finished; I reckon it's gonna look awesome

Considering that gold with the white, though....

Phoenixx, looks like an excellent job!

I've always been too nervous of wrapping ending up with bubbles and wrinkles and looking pants.

But you've done a great job!

Phoenixx, Very nice job, and a few pics of how to wrap would be nice.

EG, just how diff it is to wrap and how you overcome any probs.

I am with Sky "How do they do that"

Seriously some step by step shots would ge very interesting.
