Dman Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'd say marble or something similar with a bit of pattern. Any other marble colours? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicolasp1405 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 So I decided to go with Smurf Blue since the printing on the marble one seemed a bit off... so prior to install the new wrap, I had to Take off the old one... Which was a bit challenging. Firstly, here's what over a year of usage looks like (not super extreme riding) and the takeoff Process began... ALL OFF, back to Black! and good memories... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Out of interest, do you buy this vinyl direct from VviVid? or somewhere else? How much do you use for the frame & fork and what is the cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you use for the frame & fork and what is the cost? Normally you have to order from them by Internet, but I got lucky and one of their office happens to be near where I live.. So I just walk in and buy their directly... They sell by 5feet to which ever length you desired.. Ex 1ft X 5ft, 2ft X 5ft.. I took 2x5 the last time and this time again and it is plently enough.. You'd probably be able to redo the whole bike if you messed up something to be honest... For the cost, it's about 10$ (5.81GBP) for 1ft x 5ft and double the price for 2ft X 5ft and so on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 It looks so much better in black than the green but do you're thing man it's interesting to see how it turns out this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 As it is the only thing letting it down is the orange conti logos, I wish they would go white lettering or stealth with just black raised logo. Don't try and remove the conti signs, I tried you just end up with a big orange rectangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbed it in with a cloth for about 10 minutes and the logo slowly disappeared. Haven't tried it on a Conti tire yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Tried a couple of things, isopropyl alcohol, white spirit and rubbing like mad, where the lettering is you can see a rectangle, when I started I thought the letters would just go but the orange is a big rectangle and the black was just coming off leaving a big orange rectangle. I tried it on an old tyre the bead was ripped on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
