nicolasp1405 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) So I decided that my arcade needed a bit of refreshement. We all know that the best way to refresh a bike is to change its color. I didnt want to use paint as I still want to conserve the awsome matte black paint with the arcade logos. Some of you might remember the plastidip fourplay I did long ago, well now i will be using vinyle wrap as plastidip isnt solide enough for bike use... Enjoy 1. Got some sweet vinyls, chartreuse it will be! 2. They gave me a pretty big sample as it was just some waist from an other job, so I managed to do quit a lot already : Will keep you updated on my progress! I hop you all like!

nicolasp1405 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Peel the layer from that tarty days sticker. It's a vinyl transfer. Lol I know... Its just tape ive put over the tartydays sticker so it wont go off with the vinyl when I get bored of thevinyl and take it off...

isitafox Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 How did you get such a tidy finish with it, do you apply with heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp1405 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 usually your supose to, but I managed without using any heat, exept on the bb area.. I also used many small vinyl shapes to fill the gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifes-a-trial Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 How did you get such a tidy finish with it, do you apply with heat? wrapping without heat usually doesn't stand up to the elements very well in terms of temperature fluctuation. Always best to wrap with heat.Looks well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
