    Man, that really stands out. I may have to look into that for mine.

    For paint, if you took all the pieces off the bike and took it to a local body shop using quality paint, I’d say around $1k. To wrap it doing the same deal this really depends as it depends where you go. It’s a lot of pieces and some of these are a pain to do and time consuming. My guess around $800-$1600. I’m currently doing my bike and have finished it all just gotta put it back together. Cost $100 to do it myself.

    Yep... if you plan to wrap the entire trike, then probably painting will be cheaper and easier.
    The wrap material by itself (good quality) is quite high in $.

    If you only wrap a few pieces, then is worth it.

    Yeah I have someone in mind for a wrap, but I can't think of what I would do. I keep thinking these look great more simplistic and less color. More murdered out.

    The blue does look good though but not for me personally.

    Honestly... personally I think these trikes are a perfect canvas for a "rat" look... or bobber style.
    I really like what they did at their launch for the Ryker - where they had an artist doing some custom painting, graffiti look on the trikes.

    I could see myself doing something similar in the future .
    I just need to come up with my own idea first...

    You mean like the old rat rods?
    Boy, that would be hot! I like the juxtaposition of classic vs. modern.

    I saw an electric car recently that was built out of an old style 50’s chassis w/ “rust” paint applied generously & classic leather bench seats... not gonna lie- I’d take it over a top of the line Tesla any day! =)

    Initially I liked it. Looking at it again? Black fenders don't look right. Paint those blue think it would pop!

    Yep, something like that - I love that rat .
    At the launch they did something slightly different but still love the look of it - found a picture (kind of cool in my books ):

    Depends on the piece your wrapping. The hood, rear piece with brp, small piece under the seat, glove box cover, tank cover, and piece under the handle bars are not very hard to do. Fender above tire was tough in spots as rivers hold it so had to do it on the bike. The colored panels arent super hard but more difficult then the easier panels listed above. Now that gas tank cover piece oh my was that a pain lol. Your chasing it all over heating and stretching back and forth back and forth. The good news is wrap is cheap and you can buy small 12”x12” for $3 each! You can use those to do the easier small pieces and get practice. Mess up no biggie cost you $3 and you learn from it.
