    wrap

    Has anyone ever used vinyl wrap to cover the tank and panels instead of paint? If so, I would love to hear of your experience or suggestions.
    Thanks,

            Have you looked into Hydrographics ?
            1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
            1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
            1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
            1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
            1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

            Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

                My first attempt at it. Pretty difficult. It's hard to hold, apply heat, pull material and smooth at the same time! This was just some sample material a guy let me have to play around with.
