    header wrap

    i had no idea where to put this topic, so i threw it here...

    im gonna wrap my bassani, just cause it dont hold paint but more then a month then back to the nasty look of chipped paint...

    do i need a 50 foot roll? im doing just the 4 pipes..maybe a little extra...i drag at times..so wrap wouldnt last down there

    DONT DO IT..........you will be laughed at and you will completely spoil your bike forever.
    paint your pipe properly and it will be good for a long time (and you will be able to sleep with a clear conscience)........

      +1, Don't do it. Just smear dog crap all over it and let it bake on. It works just as good and looks a lot better.

              Yeah, it stays on a long time. Hell they made houses out of it in Ireland and England a thousand years ago, some of them are still standing.

              It was probably cow crap they used but the concept is the same.

                You'll ruin that pipe wrapping it, it will rust through in no time, don't wrap it. Strip the existing paint and start over. If you take your time and do it right it will last. If you are just spraying over it and not doing the proper steps of application it won't last. You get out of it what you put into it
