Hi I was thinking of wrapping my tank instead of custom paint. Can you really notice the difference? Is it alot cheaper than paint..

 

How long does the wrap last?

 

Maybe get it hydrodipped?? Helluva lot more durable and probably less of a pain in the ***

 

Yes, you can tell the difference.. like the difference between areal tattoo and a stick on. If you can't afford a decent paint job, wait until you can.

 

I'd think putting a wrap on a three dimensioned cruved gas tank, that it would be pretty difficult not to up with a crease or two.

 

Save even more money and use Saran Wrap...Jeez.

 

we get a number of cars coming in the shop, mostly Porsche's, that have been wrapped. I don't know who, or how much it cost them. One guy said 5 grand for a Panameria, and that car is big, but it was done really nice. you had to get right up to it to tell it was a wrap, and it took a couple minutes to figure out it was. I wouldn't know if they could do a tank, in a quality manor, go ask, but in the long run, for a bike. I myself would not want a wrap. Its right up there with covers for what is supposed to be chrome, like the cover that goes over the inner primary. It looks so second rate, and cheap. I would say that getting a paint job would be a better alternative to a wrap, hands down.

 

Probably would not react well to even a few drops of gasoline

 

as long as you wipe it off right away, not a problem. but I'm still no fan of it. It does bubble up sometimes. had one here they had to redo, because of bubbles that came thru. I don't know what caused them

 

...... saw a matte blue 911 sitting out front of a wrap shop here in COS & stopped in to check on what it'd take to do a motorcycle (i'm tired of waiting for a yellow RGU!)
.... these guys do a quality job & installing over the curves & definition lines is pretty flawless
...... the proprietor said he wrap the whole bike, TP & lowers included for < $1500
... you could change the color of a bike a couple times for what it'd cost for one repaint and if you don't mind it being a wrap, who cares what others think
