Hello all, don't mean to thread hijack but I actually do wrapping professionally.

If you want anything doing, I can quote you up.

Ant, good luck with the tank, the angles on it will limit you, you'll need to create seams at various points (which won't look too obvious in white) to get a good wrap done, or you'll have excess vinyl that won't go anywhere.

Unless you're an absolute dab hand with a scalpel, I'd highly recommend buying some vinyl cutting tape from someone like Spandex.

On the topic of vinyl, if this stuff is any good, it'll be either 3M, Hexis or Avery. Avery is the creme de la creme, nothing touches it's air free technology. Fact.

Just be careful not to cut into the paint as it'll a. show if you take the wrap off and b. show if you wrap over it...as the wrap is analogous to the surface.

Here's a pic of my old YZFr125 that I did...I ended up giving up on the tank as it was far too angular and time consuming.

If you get stuck, shoot me a PM

Weybridge, Heathrow, Deptford...depends what time of day really haha! If it's parts you need doing, I'm happy to have them sent to me. I just ask you cover the cost of vinyl and I usually charge about £15 an hour labour, any mistakes I make don't get added into that.

Yup, very easily...what kind of look are you going for? I have a small amount of 3m carbon look wrap left but I'm unsure if it'll cover the four arches, so might need to order more.
