Help Me Decide!! Going to wrap my tricycle this weekend!

[The500thDaytona]

What's up guys?? I'm new to the community and want to say hi! This site has been so helpful for me, I just had to join. New Can Am owner as of July 2020!

So I want your $.02. I will be wrapping my '17 Can Am Daytona 500 next week when my 3m vinyl arrives. I'm stuck on how much of the F3 I want to wrap. Look at the mock up picture attached (sry, bad photoshop), and help me decide by voting in the poll! This will help me a lot. Thanks guys!:thumbup:

Here's a crappy mock up from another angle

Sorry I can’t help. I have a Daytona and would like more yellow not less.

 

[Cobwebs]

How about just the frunk lid.

:welcome:

Start small...you can always add as you go.

I have an F3 and went for a couple racing stripes on the frunk. That's it for now.

More yellow might add a bit of safety, but aside from that both look great. If you haven't decided, perhaps give yourself another couple of weeks before you go in?

I agree with artravler start small and add what you like. AFter all you are the one that has to live with it.

Black is usually easier to keep clean than yellow. Yellow helps visibility. Too much yellow and cars will stop when you do waiting for the kids to get off. :roflblack:

What ever you do don't get the black gloss from wrap my spyder site. They scratch really easy.

Be Aware, when you go with wrapping things it's addictive, Personally I think less is more, I wrapped the rear fender in carbon, the kneepads in carbon, the frontspoiler (f3s) in Orange, and the top panels also in carbon.
Mine is except the spoiler, black black and did I mention black....

These spyders, are easy customizable. but I cannot tell you how to go about wrapping your vehicle, that is personal taste. but as stated in earlier reply's, Sky is the limit..

Hey thanks for your input anyway mate! Cheers!

Hey mate that's an interesting idea - I'll have to mock that up too lol. How's your Daytona out there in AUS? Great weather year round?

Haha!! Yeah I'm already too visually loud for my taste currently. Hopefully the yellow frunk and frame bars are good enough for visibility. Hope to catch you on the hwy! I'm in Central area as well. Cheers!

Piratezz Thanks for the tip mate. And also very accurate. My 3m doesn't even arrive until tomorrow, and I'm already thinking of other things to wrap other than my Can Am LOL. Can't wait' til my (lack of) vinyl wrapping skills prove to be my reality check tomorrow

it's trail and error, be sure to have enough wrapping material, as you shuck a whole lot in the bin. If you have the good stuff (3m, avery ) don't worrie bout wrinkels, you can take the foil off, and heat it gently with a heatgun, pull the wrap in the correct manner.
it straightens itself out, just as I said, be patient, and you will learn quickly.
There are tons of youtube vids, but they don't show the aggrevation, gheghghe.
It goes wrong in the beginning.. I have a shop in windowtinting, and windshieldreplacement, but I never dared to wrap a complete car or motorcycle for that matter.

Good luck, and post pictures when you are ready, seems to me you are never finished with a Spyder.

Wash and clean with alcohol real good.
Job success will depend on it and if there are curves beyond limit of how much vinyl can stretch, you will need primer.
Part like below will not stay without the primer.
