For those few who have missed me over the past god knows how many months, I have Vinyl Wrapped my baby..
It took me ages to do, and although there are parts I'm not to happy with, I think I did a decent job for my first attempt.

Hi Debs welcome back! Great effort on the wrap, you must have the patience of a saint! Bit surprised though, I was expecting pink or purple!

It does look good......for a GTR. :popcorn:
Looks great, I always wondered if wrapping was worth it, looks good.
Also, have you got a sly little camera on the offside mirror per chance? Looks good.

Yes I do.. Records to an SD Card :whistling:
hiya Debs, good to see you back on here, and baby looks great in that colour
I reckon you've done a really good job :clap:
Looking good...like the camera in the mirror very professional, what's the make & model.
Nice to see you back - still getting my head round the vinyl thing but it certainly looks nice in the pictures...
Nice job 👍
I looked into getting mine wrapped in gloss and satin black, (my previous ZZR colour). My last 5 bikes have been black. I just missed out on the black colour scheme and there were no low mileage black jobbies around.
I was quoted £800 but then thought about having to return the bike to its original colour for PCP trade in. Seemed like too much effort. I'm not sure if you're even allowed to change the colour if it's bought on finance?
Loving the drinks bottle holder btw 😀
Superb Debs :clap: :clap:
Has a new name too
"Baby Blue" :banana: :mfr_lol:
Brilliant, looks good. How long did it take you and did you do it outside?

Nice to have you back Debs .... see the flowers are still there ! :yes:
:clap: :clap: :clap:
Brilliant job Debs, a credit to You.
You got some time to make me some light brackets now, pretty please :whistling: :banana:

It's a shame the photo links are broken, also on Snowy's write up on wiring in an Autocom....that would have been a great help as I want to do the same ready for our trip.

I think that looks really good Debs. Any hints for those of us considering having a crack at this?
You will need a lot of patience. It's not that easy..
Here's the link if any of you are feeling ambitious :)

Very nice Debs :punk:
What were the most difficult parts to do ?
What wrap did you use ?
You made me anxious to try it also...

Patience I can find. Is a five metre roll enough?
Yes it will be. I got 6 in case I made a mistake and had to try again, which happened a few times. :mfr_lol:

It was all difficult to do, but I would say the tank was a nightmare.

I really like the Mirror Carbon effect,
Were they difficult ?
Debs did you take all the panels of to do it, or was some done in-situ?

Only the tank and nose cone was in situ. All others came off.
That impressed with Debs bike, we have decided to have a look for ourselves at this place:

If you want a good job, I would recommend having the Avery Dennison Supreme Wrap.. Best on the market, even though it's pricey at £28 per 1m x 1.5m but well worth it

Thanks Debs. we are just going for a look round at this stage. We are thinking of changing colours nearer winter as we will be busy touring between now and September. Any tips would be very welcome.
Unless the paintowrork underneath is absolutely pristine it *may* cause a few problems at removal time, e.g. It may start "lifting"
Also any small pit marks will show through as the vinyl should fit as snugly as a condom

No paint will lift..

Debs, I've said it before, you are one very ingenious lady and I doth tip my hat to you :punk: that is just fabulous :clap:
Excuse my ignorance but are the light clusters mounted under the mirrors flashing lights ?
Fantastic effort :biker3:
So, I better buy 15M of the stuff...
No patience whatsoever :)
.
Yeah, I'll pass on this
Love the idea, however, I know my patience limits :)
