Re-wrapping!

[Phoenixx]

Some of you might remember last year I wrapped my NTV white ( ntvhonda.proboards.com/thread/3017/vinyl-wrapping-ntv ).

Well, I've decided to go for a change, so matt black she goes!

As per last time I will be uploading images as I go so you can see the progress if you're at all interested

- Having a bit of a wash before stripping

I thought your bike looked very good in white, but the matt black will probably also look very good.

Dare I say: typically a female thing to want to change the bike colour after just one year .

I seem to remember never again.
I guess its easier second time round.

Looks like a good way to protect your panels. If all else fails red calls. :-)

Good luck with the rewrap.

Auto correction or just too fat fingers (like I have) ?

Danish layout with auto correction :-)

Hehe cheeky beggars there were a few things I was never quite happy with on the white wrap, and yeah it's easier the second time around lol! Although I'm not looking forward to doing the tank :S

I work for a graphics company so I get my vinyl from work, but we get it from hexis, which is the best company around we think.

I just tried to put all of the pictures in one link, and it crashed! Argh! So I'll try again in a few different posts.

2 panels done. The plastic locating tab snapped off so it was held on with masking tape for a day until I fixed it haha

The rear panel. As you can see in the picture, I have cut 'tabs' in the vinyl to tuck round the back of the panel. This prevents any shrinkage that might occur on the edges. So it'll last longer!

Not a great picture, but you can see we're making progress!

The tank. The hardest part! It wasn't as hard as the last wrap, mind. I knew how to vinyl would perform around the shape of the tank. Although I did have to redo one side due to a rip. Was not happy. It's a shame about the NTV logo underneath, but as it's been lacquered over, if I had sanded it off I may as well have painted it.

I stood back from this after putting it back together and said "I HATE IT!"

This soon changed when I got the stripe and pink detailing on it. It started to look pretty good!

It is now finished, complete with my NTV pin up girl I designed I love it!

Personally; I looked at this image and thought; "I do rate that!"
I also like her finished with stripes... (& do like your 'Pin up girl.')

[Phoenixx]

Thanks DeeDee I can make and send the pin up to anyone that might want one

[De Graaf van Salland]
