Default Wrap instead of paint

Okay, I am thinking of a change on the bike, don't really want to paint because if I ever trade it in or sell it I think a custom paint job limits your potential buyers. So, A local shop says they can wrap my tank with one of the two below, I can't seem to decide, I am leaning towards the blue because it would match the current fenders. Let me know what you guys think, which one?

Isn't the tank bib going to cover the center portion of the wrap and block the main theme?

I can do the whole FTW thing all day long but that whole Death Angel thing not for me.I see enough soul less people out where i'm at. Not cool!

The theme would be on each side of the tank, would have to be with the bib.
Nox, as for the soul less, we are all thought that death is not to be feared, the reaper is the "angel" of death so I am not sure where soul less fits. But to each their own. I am a complete opposite, I believe all the FTW stuff is ridiculous, but thanks for your input.

I agree, the second one goes with the color of your bike better.

I'd need to see how they intend to handle the backgrounds. Hopefully they aren't intending to just picture frame the thing.

Whenever I see a wrap, all I can think about is how hard that would be to remove and what a mess it would be under it. I guess I'm trying to say I would be less likely to buy a wrapped bike than a custom painted one.

It's probably my issue, though...as some of the brand new Harley's have wraps...and I think the same about them too! Guess it comes from 40 years of painting cars/bikes.

I feel like you should paint your bike the way you really want it and not give a seconds thought as to how it might matter to a possible potential buyer in the future.

First off wrap is not cheap, secondly why wouldn't you just go on ebay/craigslist and buy another tank paint it install it and when you decide to sell it put the old tank on...I know everyone as an opinion but those "themes" you chose look like they belong on a Honda rebel...Good luck.
