Wrapping help

[burneyrubber 0]

Sorry if ive posted this in the wrong section but i didnt know where else to put it.

anyway im just wondering where i can get some tips on wrapping a motorbike.

doing the panels is fine and pretty staright forward but ive attempted the petrol tank 3 times now and the vinyl just splits on me.

im using cast oracle 751, i dont think its thick enough for what im trying to do,

what do you use?

any tips for wrapping sphere shapes like the tank?

regards

Burney

Check youtube.com, I think I recall a video of some guy wrapping side view mirrors on a car. He was using a heat gun.

They make a separate vinyl for wrapping not 751.

Your problem is the vinyl 751 is for fleet graphics not wrapping.  Who told you to use 751?

i kind of gathered it was the wrong vinyl,its wat too thin.

so what is the best?

i cant remember who told me but im not really bothered about that i just want the right stuff.

is 2mil cast best or is that too thick?

No groveling needed just some freakin deep pockets!!!  That stuff is not cheap!

I think I'm going to try wrapping my car with 951. It'll be a challenge of course, but I have confidence it can be done.

Anyone know how much the 970ra runs? I can get a 48" by 10yd roll of 951 for Less than $200. And have lots of extra in case i screw up. and there's a huge color variety
