Anyone here use the 3M Vinyl Wrap on there quad?? My plastic is in good shape but i just wanted to make it look different...

 

I used one I got from AMR on my DS650, I don't know if it was 3M film or not, but I followed the procedure for cleaning and prep, only I used acetone nail polish remover and isopropyl alcohol instead of whatever cleaning solution they sold. It wasn't too bad to put on and so far I haven't noticed any peeling up, it's been about 6 months.

 

Thanks, i will look into that brand... Sounds like it will hold up, atleast if it doesn't then i will only have to peel it off.

 

it looked like pretty good stuff, more mils thick than any of the other kits I found on ebay at least.

 

I just got done wrapping my bike last week and it looks amazing!!!!

I used the 3M wrap from "Mossy Oak Graphic".

Here's the BEFORE ....


And now the AFTER....


I did learn a few things while doing this wrap.

1. Clean, clean, clean, the bike has to be spotless. Use a good wax and grease remover. Before I applied the wrap I wiped down every piece of plastic with 70% isopropyl alcohol.

2. Be sure to buy the "3M 94 Primer"! It's a must in the concave curves of the plastics.

3. A heat gun is critical to getting a nice finish.

4. Re heat the entire bike with the heat gun and squeegee out all the air pockets and wrinkles. BECARFUL NOT TO MELT THE VINYL.

5. If you order from Mossy Oak Graphics, ask for 2 extra feet of vinyl.
The 7 feet in the kit just seems to not be enough material. A 9 foot role is what you want just incase you make a mistake applying the wrap. When you order, use the Discount Coupon (BIGGAME) for 10% off your order and free shipping. Last week I paid $162 for 9 feet

6. Make sure the camo pattern is the right way before cutting it off the roll. I made the mistake of cutting the pattern the wrong way and had to piece the front fender together.

7. If you make any mistakes with the heatgun (burn a small hole) dont worry too much about it. What I did was when i was finished the entire bike I took a scrap piece of vinyl and cut out a leaf or an acorn and stuck it over the little holes I made with the heatgun. This does 2 things, first it makes it look better but secondly it seals the vinyl so water cant get in. Remember to use the heatgun on the patches too. The heat will seal them on.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the input, your bike looks brand new... What a difference it made... $160 is alot cheaper then paint! good paint, reducer and misc. will run double that and if it starts to flake then your screwed.

Thanks
