    Hey everyone,

    Thought I would upload these pics of a racing motorcycle sidecar that we did last week. Apparently its a first for racing sidecars to be wrapped as they usually have custom paint jobs. However due the flexing of the Kevlar body, this tends to crack quite easily. Be interesting to see how this holds up.

    We used a 3M cast series print with a matching laminate, it has been printed in 3 sections (due to size) though we have done it in such a way as to lose any joins. All text etc was added after. However when I asked the fitter how it was done he said "Its hard to explain how its done, like many great artists, one kind of enters a trance like state and just produces such creations!!"

    We have been promised some pics of it racing within the next few weeks.

    looks great Ben, I like that mate…
    A few years back i was going to use a similar type thing to promote a Sign related website. (un-connected to uksb) and i wanted to use reptile skin but never did because i thought the scales would make the wrap look too busy, but it actually looks good there. well done!

    thanks for taking the time to upload your work, much appreciated.
