Well trying to add a little styling pizazz. Vinyl wrap (3m 1080). Not as easy as it looks. I probably would have skipped it had I known. Plan was to do the whole scooter in Orange (figured it looks cool, and orange is a safer color)

I worked in a car wrapping shop as head strip fitter for a little while and had a few practice goes at wrapping parts on a quiet day when there was left over material. Really not as easy as it looks, also depends on material. I imagine you had a struggle with some of the curves on that bike ;D I used to do a lovely job on some parts and then the last corner I'd get a crease I couldn't budge lol. Some of these wrap guys have real talent and technique. Looks like a good job on your scooter though!

Yeah it’s those damn curves. It does look good from a distance but I have to rip it off and start over. I was using the knifeless tape to get my edges and I screwed up by not securing the vinyl enough on the opposite side of the tape. Oh well. I am getting the hang of it but won’t be attempting curves anytime soon
