vinyl wrap vs air brush or paint

[flippnswitchez]

I am thinking of changing my paint scheme. I've seen vinyl wraps on bikes. What's your opinion a vinyl wrap or air brush or paint?

I have seen a few vinyl covered bikes. The cool thing is you can come up with any design you want and not have to worry about paying for a custom airbrush job. Some are also hard to tell if there vinyl or not. I was quoted once $700 installed. My paint alone for my bike was around 800 bucs.

I have seen a couple, Both looked really good from a distance but if you got up on them you could see the seams.

Although for the price Im thinking it would be worth it.

a local shop here does stickers to your bike.....any full bike decal

take note of the white parts! they r entirely pasted too, even the single seater.

Some one on the board posted this one a few years back . There was also a member that made my decals for me , he had a shop and did his with a wrap . He said that the tank was the only place that had where you could see the seems . So he bought a tank bra and it was sweet.

The good thing about having it wrapped is if, god forbid, anything happens, it's alot easier to replace than custom airbrushing.

I would take the paint instead of the wrap.. when you have a sweet paint job you tend to treat the bike with more respect.. cause you know if you drop it's going to hurt the pocket....

i think the wraps are cool. only thing is changing em. how hard to get em off. we all know how removing decals can be a pita, especialy parts warmed up from the motor.
