Anyone tried it?

Quite fancy wrapping the Fazer 🤔

My RT has a clear 3M protective wrap.
You have to make sure it's a good quality wrap otherwise it starts to look tatty after a while.

When I bought my FJR , I went to my local(ish) 3M wrappers and asked for a quote and was told : "we don't do bikes mate , too difficult" . :-S
It wasn't my fault , I was left unsupervised !

Mine came in a sort of kit panel by panel form covering about 85% of the bodywork.
They needed the bike for a full day and it cost £375.

I tried it on the Harley. It looked O.K but you could tell it wasn't real paint close up. It took John ages to do but he didn't seem to find it difficult. He watched a demo at our Harley dealer before trying it himself and picked up a few tips. I think wraps look better now. Technology has improved I suppose. It peeled off O.K when I decided to go back to the original paint after a couple of years. No marks left behind at all.

This is an interesting alternative

Spray-on rubberised paint

and if it's applied correctly (not too thin) it can be peeled off!

plus the potential colours are awesome
