Got some guys friends who do a sorry on plastic wrap, gives a nice Matt even finish, was contemplating this for my tank

Yes son very good option if it's cheap go for it.

How hard wearing would this stuff be to do the tank? Was thinking maybe carbon wrapping the tank!!
Cheers

i wraped one of my rear pannel's

it took so ****ing long as the pannel is moveing and not solid so was that much of a pain i sprayed the second with plasti coat plastic sprey and that is much better.

the last photo is spreyed with plastic paint the stuff is awesome its like a layer of real plastic it does not flex and crack and its tuff and thats spreying over blue pannles iv given a few coasts since to just give it a refresh its good.

Im not being funny but I think that was down to your ability and you obviously have better skills painting than me but plenty of people manage to wrap whole bikes and I've seen tv remotes carbon wrapped...

I've done the spray paint but I think I might give the wrap a try, maybe do the face of plastics while still attached then take off to do edges etc??

trial and error!!

good cheap idea and if done right can look great be sure to prep prep prep and deep marks may show throu also a heat gun or hairdryer is a must have ..

gets some pics of every step and finished itam for others to see

 

 

 

Will do pal!

Going to order wrap tomorrow and a sharp knife, there isn't many scratches that you can feel with your fingers there more like very light scuffs as if its been cleaned with a rough pad-I do have some undercoat that has filling properties its kinda thicker than ordinary spray so you just lightly sand it down and it fills all the small scratches
