Bike wrapping, can i buy coloured wrap vinyl?
Hi guys,
I wanted to wrap the bottom of my fairings in black (like the dark blue at the bottom of this bike with the sponsors on)
I just want it plain black.
Can i buy specific coloured wrap vinyl? i don’t have a solvent printer and as i only want it plain it would be handy.
Looking for wrap vinyl seems to be abit awkward.
Can anyone link me to somewhere that sells black vinyl suitable for what i need and how much it costs?
Thanks Alot.

Oracal do a wrap material in 17 colours I think.

or Avery 900 supercast will do the trick too

Oracal 751C Cast
55 micron, high performance cast film. UV stabilisers. Solvent based polyacrylic permanent adhesive. Fire retardant self-extinguishing qualities. Excellent conformity over rivets and corrugations. Ideal for high quality vehicle and marine graphics.http://www.thevinylcorporation.co.uk/pr … ycles.html
Would that be ok?
Also how complicated would it be to apply to the side of my bike? can i find any tutorials? will anyone write a quick how-to?
I want to wrap this bike at the bottom of the fairing (not a huge area)

I’ve used 751c Oracal and 3M 7725 (same stock, different glue) and its very good, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, it will be a trial. The 2 products I mentioned are a better choice.
Short answer, yes you can use 751c, but overstretching will cause a colour change. The specialist wrap materials will too, but are much more forgiving.
Horses for courses I guess.
Gold + members have access to the tutorials, but you might find something on youtube?
An experienced applicator would not find doing the farings a chore, but its a big ask for a learner.
Start with oversized sections and trim it back, don’t skimp of the material you use. You’ll have a bit of waste, but it will be the quickest way to do it.
