Has anyone tried vinyl wrapping parts that are traditionally powder coated? I tried it this morning and was thrilled with the results. I may pull it off and use a different color. I used the Avery Supercast 900 series with EZ apply. You can chase out air bubbles anywhere due to the channel-embossed liner. Very easy and it only took about 1 1/2 hours to do the lockdown and side rails. I might try a leg later today.

Im sure it wind hold up as good as powder, but it sure is glossy. Fingernails cut it pretty easily.

No seams. It took about 6' from a 24" roll

Loving it so far. It even feels good. I'm not real confident it will last but we'll see!

Quoted from Blackjacker:

Wow, looks a whole lot better than I would've guessed - nice job!
What kind of sorcery is involved in doing that 3-surface corner on a lockdown bar without seams?

This vinyl works so well I didn't even use the heat gun. Just kept pulling it tighter and tighter over the corner until it had no winkles. Way better than 3M's version.

Quoted from Frax:

I need some UV reactive trippy vinyl all of a sudden for my Crescendo...

The photoluminescent wold be tits. It doesn't go aroung curves very well though. It cracks and splits.

The funny thing is: the AFM I wrapped is Heather's game

Probably not. Textured powdercoat is notorious for poor adhesion. Only one way to find out!

Looks great! Do you know what brand of film that carbon fiber is?

Bad ass! That must be some pretty decent film. Even the 3m stuff doesn't really stretch. Those corners look great!
