Default Exhaust Wrap, How Much Do I Need?

I'm thinking of wrapping my V&H Big Shot Staggered pipes and would like to know how much is needed. It looks like the stuff comes in 25, 50 and 75 foot rolls.

What does it take for an average motorcycle pipe wrap?

The pipes are painted in high temp paint right now, look cool or would you wrap?

The next project is to powder coat a second set of tins, flat black. I've been piecing the tins together on ebay and will sell what is on the bike pictured below. I'm thinking of a satin black, something similar to the Black Denim (HD).

Looks cool with the pipes painted black, i don't see the need to wrap them.

I think the black looks great! The wrap would give it an 'industrial' look and discolors with age/heat. Also, wrap can trap moisture and rot the pipe out.

....just my .02 worth
