that's some uglyazz chit!

 

The Baggerskins have too much graphics for me. Also my bike is pinstriped and the baggerskins would only partially cover them. I was thinking just a solid color with some nice stripes or something. I guess I am looking for a quick, cheap solution to cover some wear and tear on the old paint, until I can get the bike repainted. Here is a pic of the bike.

 

Actually the vinyl that is being used today is very low tac. True if it has been on for a long length of time it gets brittle. But, even if it doesn't pull off in sheets it still comes off relatively easy. What little residue that remains can be take off with isopropyl alcohol. If the paint was destroyed it was due to the person removing it.

Repainting a vehicle isn't with labor intensity either. So in that respect it's a trade off.

Would I do it on my bike, no. Just a personal preference. I would just live with what I have now and save up to get it repainted.

 

You gotta get someone who knows what they are doing to do it. I just had my Dodge Magnum wrapped flat black a few months ago. My local sign shop does wraps and did the Magnum. I talked to them about wrapping the bike and said it would be easy compared to wrapping the magnum. So yes it can be done but make sure you choose someone who knows what they are doing first.

 

Nice.. I was thinking about a light wrap on my car to keep it cooler in the desert sun. What did that run you $$?

 

Flat Black looks badass on your magnum!!

 

I don't remember the exact price but it was around $1000. The front and rear bumper is all one piece. The mirrors and door handles are wrapped also. It took them about 16 hours to wrap the car. The wrap actually protects the factory paint so if I were to ever want to sell it I can sell it wrapped or remove the wrap and the orignal paint is still in great condition.

 

damn $1000, I know some local kids that for $10 and few cans of spray paint...........lol.

Again, i stress how awesome these vinyl wraps are.


They were made for the cheap *** jap car era for kids who couldnt afford paint jobs on their mom's honda civic.

 

What I am posting is not my bike but some pics of someone else's for reference. These are decals, not ther wraps that you are speaking of. A few other's on this site have this/these kits. I have the kit too but am some what hesitant to put it on, you know decals: edges always popping up, etc. but it is a cheap alternative for sure: Here you go:




I could imagnie how much that these ghost flames would cost to paint on though..
These are an alternative but again they are decals. Hard to tell though..
