Paint or Wrap?

[senorgrand]

Looking for options for making my Ryker more colorful (and visable).

The stock color options don't work for me and paying $300 to get two painted pieces of plastic seems crazy.

So, should I go wrap or paint? Looking at just a solid color, like Sublime Green.

Thanks!

Hi senorgrand. Go wrap but look for a good one whose work you can see ( if you don't like it peel it off ) he can offer in up to bike to see what it will look like regards Nico 75

I agree with Nico. I used Plasti Dip on mine so that I can peel it off if I don't like it. If I do decide I like it, I can permanently paint it. I Dipped a few parts that I did not like and just peeled them off and tried a different pattern. Now I am listening to feed back from what others think of it before I do any more. Wrap is more expensive, but you get the same option, to peel it off if you don't like it or if you tire of it. AND I believe you have a lot more options with wrap. They even have a chrome wrap.

Wrap it! You can change the color every time you feel like it in your driveway basically.
No over spray, no headaches... and all the mess that comes with painting. All you need is a heat gun.

Thanks all!

Wrap is very good these days. Paint is much more permanent...so a pain if you want to change things out.

Here's the thing..

You can get a custom wrap though there are many to choose from. The advantage is that you can remove the wrap as you can with the plasti-dip paints and no harm done. Many potencial buyers in the future may not like the choices you make but this way you can give them a blank slate to work with even if you just tell them they can remove it....:thumbup:

I am currently doing a DIY winter camo job on my wife's Ryker 900. Just did the engine hood and working on the side panels, I will post some pictures once I get more done.
