Motorcycle Wraps 3M™ | ORACAL® | Avery Dennison™

Motorcycle Wraps

Your motorcycle is more than just a means to get from point A to point B and if you have to ask why, then it's pretty clear that you've never ridden one. Let's face it: motorcycles are cool and they roar to the world: “I live my life large! I laugh at fear, I'm adventurous!” Everyone who sees anyone on any bike thinks that person is cool. This is very true for kids, and slightly less true for in-laws—but even they are still secretly impressed. Unless you ride in  flip flops, or without a helmet – then you look silly and are just asking for trouble. And now, with the advent of DIY motorcycle wraps you can look even cooler. Browse our selection of 3M™, Avery™ and ORACAL® vinyl wraps for your chopper or motorbike and up your cool factor without breaking the bank.

What Is a Vinyl Motorcycle Wrap?

Motorcycle Wraps are sheets of vinyl that closely adhere to your Motorcycles like a second skin. Think of them like a giant sticker that covers the entirety of the surface, transforming its appearance in terms of both color and texture. But instead of the small stickers you might find peeling off of a child's notebook, vinyl Motorcycle wraps are closer to a premium paint than a decal or sticker.

In short, bike wraps are durable, sturdy and built to last. Most importantly, they can transform a tired old motorcycle into something new and unique. And, unlike paints, you can get patterns and three-dimensional finishes when you wrap your chopper in carbon fiber, brushed metals and other fun finishes.

What Are the Benefits of Motorcycle Wraps?

Motorcycle vinyl wraps are extremely durable and have a UV protective coating, which helps to protect your bike from the weather. A vinyl wrap can last for over nine years and can be taken off at any time. And, Since custom wrapping is less permanent and more resistant to scratches than most paints, vinyl wraps make the most sense when you're considering investing your time and money. By wrapping your motorcycle and protecting the paint underneath, the resale value of the bike is also protected. Here are three more benefits of wrapping your motorcycle:

1. Customization

From single color Motorcycle wraps to digitally printed designs — vinyl wraps make customization easy. Rather than relying on hand-painting and costly custom designs, you can control costs by purchasing the material yourself in bulk and wrapping your Motorcycle yourself. And, since you can partially wrap the exterior and interior, you really do control every part of your Motorcycle’s look. If you own or manage a business, there’s no better way to advertise your brand than with graphic wraps. Turn heads with promotional imagery that’s sure to get a lot of looks.

2. Cost

A regular paint job for your motorcycle will likely cost you around up to $1500. As with any paint job, the price is highly dependent on the amount of work that must be done before you have it painted. You can expect to pay a third of this for premium vinyl wraps and, if you wrap your bike yourself, you could save as much as $1000!

3. Hassle

If you want to remove your vinyl wrap to expose the paint underneath, a professional can remove it quickly with minimal damage to the surface. Some Motorcycle managers use vinyl wraps to protect their Motorcycles’ original paint or gel coat to preserve resell value. Also, if you want to switch to a new design or graphic for your vinyl wrap, it’s easy to replace with another.

Since vinyl has no chemicals or solvents needed for its application, it’s safer for a marine environment. Also, cleaning it doesn’t require harsh chemicals.

How Much Does It Cost to Get Your Motorcycle Wrapped?

We've mentioned it above but it's worth it to take a closer look at how much you can expect to pay to wrap your motorbike. Naturally, there are a number of things that will determine how much it will cost to wrap your bike. And, while all of the motorcycle wraps we carry are made by premium brands like 3M™ and Avery™, they're still available in an almost mind-boggling assortment of colors, finishes and sizes. Here are a few points to factor into the cost of a wrap, including:

• The size of your motorcycle, which affects the amount of vinyl needed
• The design time and complexity of your design
• The time of the installation
• The brand and type of vinyl used

How Much Vinyl Do You Need to Wrap Your Motorcycle?

Closely related to the cost of wrapping your Motorcycle is the question of how much film you'll need. Naturally, there is no shortage of Motorcycles that can be wrapped but here are the most common types of sea craft along with an estimate (in yards) of vinyl wrap required.

• Motorcycles
• Street bikes
• Cruisers
• Dirt bikes Motocross bikes
• Choppers
• Adventure touring bikes

How Long Does a Motorcycle Wrap Last?

There will always be those who argue that marine paint is superior because it lasts longer, but they almost never take into account that paint needs to be regularly repaired and undergo yearly maintenance. Maintaining a painted bike  is more difficult than a vinyl wrapped Motorcycle and certainly requires more skill. If, on the other hand, vinyl needs a fix, it’s quick and easy. In addition to being easier to repair, motorcycle wraps are also fade resistant, so there’s no trouble matching your repair color to the rest of the ride. Best of all, there’s no need to wrap the entire vessel again if one area gets damaged.

The durability of your Motorcycle wrap also depends on the quality of its materials and installation, which is why it’s crucial to choose a trusted company with an experienced professional team. Premium-quality vinyl can last up to seven years if applied by a professional, which is as long as some much more expensive marine paint jobs.

What is the Best Vinyl Motorcycle Wrap Brand?

The best brand of vinyl Motorcycle wrap to buy is the one that you like the best and offers the color and finish you've been looking for. So whether you choose 2080 Series Gloss Flip from 3M™ for that chameleon look, ORACAL® 975HC for the one of a kind look of Honeycomb or SW900 Satin Gray, you know you're going to get the performance and quality you need.
