        I've got two small rolls of matt red chrome....just haven't grown the pair to try it{lol}
        If you do, don't spill gas on it as it doesn't like that.{wipe it off quickly!} I figured on a healthy coat of rat wax...might combat that.

              Do it! The thing is you can always peel it off

                The tank and side cover corners are what spook me...doing it with no wrinkles, that is....
                Single color is easier than what you were referencing to on the tea can color schemes...but it could be done if one has the patience.
                I wouldn't choose those colors myself - but - that is coming from the guy who had his Kawi H-2 painted HoK hot pink shimmer'in........so I might not be the best source for comment! {I was 21 then - I'm 52 now...I've settle down a little since then}

                      complete bike wraps for $100? I still prefer paint but $90-$120 is cheap. Car Wrap Direct

                        LOL. If you get a bike wrapped for $100, expect junk. More like $500 and up. Brandon is planning on having a professional do it. Trust me, wrapping a vehicle is an art.

                          +1 on the cheap cost...we have a wrap place in town and they quoted me $600 to wrap my old cars metal dash...."dash only - I supplied the wrap!"

                          +1 on the "it's an art"...which is the biggest reason I haven't tried it myself.....yet.....

                            ...just to add to the whole usual wrapping cost thing- I had actually brought in all four inner door surrounds, front inner windshield surround, rear window inner surround, and the dash assembly.................wait for it..........quote "total" was $2600.00 with their printed wood grain vinyl {burl wood, but the style is irrelevant}. Using my wood grain vinyl....$1200.00. I have wood grain vinyl to apply, someday, too {chuckle}.........

                            Now...just to let you know why I walked out.....the guy just finished quoting the guy before me for a whole car wrap......$2000.00
