Here's my little bit I did. I picked up some fake carbon fiber stuff just to play with. I don't like fake carbon fiber but it was a good pattern and material to work with as a noob to this.
Notice the odd silver panel below the tank right in front of the seat. It doesn't really match anything else on the bike and I hated it so that was my part to try it out on.
That piece has some difficult curves to it but not too difficult. Here's the finished result.
It blends with the bike better than in that photo, especially once I added the stripes.
I had some left over, so I got kind of crazy.
This part was harder. The sharp curves are difficult to get it just right and get it all tucked away. The piece by the seat has held up better over time than this one as this one is starting to peel a bit. Partly because of the curves and partly because it's right in the wind. Sometimes mighty fast wind.
But, wrapping was an addiction, and I had a very small piece left over and went looking for something deserving of a wrap.
I recently had a go at a few parts in my truck. The wood covering has long since gone missing so I thought I'd try something new. This is when I learned about the patterns.
Overall, not too bad. I could not for the life of me get it to stretch and push down into those recesses and stick so I gave up and trimmed it up. Nevermind the stuff at the top, the 24 year old plastic broke when I removed the part to sand and wrap it.
I can't stand wood paneling and since half the trim in the truck was gone I decided to try wrapping some other parts.
I ended up with a couple of bubbles that I think is some dirt that managed to get under the vinyl. What a pain. Also, getting it to tuck around the switch trim that is not removable was difficult. This is the good side that I photographed. The process of stretching and heating and pulling to get it around the corners resulted in a wavy pattern on the drivers side. This also has a strange look when the sun is on it so I'm replacing with gloss black for now.
I've wanted to do a full color change on one of my bikes but I'd need to do the tank and I've watched a video of that process and I am not nearly patient or talented enough to do that.
