hovis Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 i think the only way to get them pink, is to paint them. or what about that wrap stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetfeet Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 The wrap stuff I've seen is just a big sticker that covers all the plastics cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovis Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 yeah.......... its like a thick clingfilm, its very tough, i once saw a camper van being covered in it, i think it was cheaper than painting it, and as its printed, so can get crazy designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 if you go with paint, make sure it has an additive to make it extra flexible or is intended for plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have used product like this with a heat gun. Take your time and starting in the middle and work your way out. Pink vinyl sheet The plotter cutters use this to make decals for trucks cars signs ect... In trials under hard use it will last about a season before it wants to be replaced. I get in a funk and change the way my bike looks about once a month. Right now its getting some thick vinyl carbon looking stuff. Here are some various phases. When i got it I went all carbon but it lasted from may till about september Then I decided to go with a wood theme but contact paper is not very trials friendly. Now i am using some really thick stuff from factory effex and going back to carbon. I will post pictures when i am done. Last winter we did zippy's sherco in skulls. Very trick. I want to find some white and green plaid contact paper. I have painted in the past and it just ends up flakeing off. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
