    Default Spyder Wraps

    I was looking to wrap my 2011RT Limited just wondering what your opinions are. I'm leaning toward a full body wrap. Anyone have any issues or suggestions? Thanks.

    I have wondered about that too. I think it is personal choice. For me, I don't want to cover up that much paint. The full wraps look real busy. I am leaning toward some detailing in the spring. Something original. Something that works for me. I say go with what makes you feel good.

    That is very very nice. You can still tell the bike is blue. I like it! Saved it on my computer for some ideas to use in the spring. Thanks for the post.

    I bow to Pete. Here's what he's done for me. I installed myself. Easy if you take your time. Good luck with your choice. If you don't have anything particular in mind, he's got lots of ideas & will work with you.

    The Missus did all of the installation on our RT... I just prepped the sites, cut them out, handed her what she needed before she had to ask, and cried!

    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    I checked in to having one put on mine the shop that does them here said it would run me $730.00 and I could have it any color I wanted since I got my RTS used I didn't get a choice of colors.. He said he could work something up on the computer I could add to it or change it around all before it was printed out...

    Are you sure this is the correct website? I don't see anything to do with wraps...

    I think the wraps look cool, but have been hesitant because of another spyder rider experience. He said that there was alot of edge rolling, and had to be using a hot hair dryer to get it to lay back down on a frequent basis. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I've got 3 different wraps from Pete and have had zero problems...If somebody has to go back and use the heat to reseat the wrap I suspect that they didn't clean it with the alcohol provided with the wrap first or as thoroughly as they should have.

    Yes, surface prep is very important & so is going over the film with heat once it has been applied. The heat helps the film take it's permanent bond to the surface that's to say that
    the film being used is a re positionable air-release film. If it's a standard vinyl or just a decal film then the heat is not as important. You need to know what kind of vinyl you are
    working with...

    Hope this helps..

    I noticed you like Marvin Martian..

    Take a look at this project we did for a customer.

    We produced the base wrap design and then the Marvin decal was produced as a shape cut image and applied over top.

    all on two wheels. More on four or more. Guess I may need to start multi-coloring for three wheels.

    It's all about getting the surface cleaned up; oll, wax, polish and everything-free!

    Thanks, sparks... Now I've got to change the menu for the Super Bowl Party!

    Maybe I am missing something, but how is AMR's a "better wrap"? Pete has different designs, including the entire Spyder wrap. Quality wise, it is hard to judge one vs. the other, unless somebody tried both. One thing for certain, Pete is a stand up guy and stands buy his product, including going above and beyond for his customers.
