Wrapping Bikes

Not many wrapping firms will do them apparently as they are fiddly. I did some track fairings (thread here) and its very possible to do them yourself although its an investment of time more than anything.

 

Place in camberley does it, good lob too

 

Its a cheaper and reversible unlike a spray job which is down to personal taste....

 

Try chalkies decal. Did an 848 for the the super bike magazine and also did my R6 in the swan livery shown on his web site. He lives in Leicester but does travel.

 

Has anyone tried that plasti dip stuff?

 

Ive seen a couple of vids on youtube,car stuff really.Spray this paint stuff on,any colour you like,body panels,wheels etc then when you get bored with it you just peel it off!From what I can see it dries like a sheet of plastic,almost like a stretched out pair of marigolds.Not seen it in the flesh tho.

 

Check these out and look at the videos of how it's done.
You can buy the stuff and do it at home but these guys will do it for you.

Plasti dip comes in various guises so if you considered this you would need to get the right type.

I had a look at them only recently as I wanted to dip some tool handles, their site is quite informative.

I'm in the south east and had bike panels wrapped by Boss Dog in Dorking, they did a good job.

 

I had fairly complex curved side panels and the sides of panniers lined on a different bike. They used 3M wrap and were able to handle all the shapes and quite intricate raised lettering wasn't a problem. I also had some angst In dealing with them on the phone as they weren't keen, cars are easier I guess and more money. I just found a time they were not that busy, arranged to go in and actually stayed around with the bike. It was better and the results were fine.
