  • Need Some Information On Carbon Fiber Wraps.

    Hello guys!
    This is Neston from mumbai,posting my first thread on XBHP .
    I just wanted a few information on Carbon fibre wraps.
    I have seen many bikes online having the headlight mask or some part or the other Carbon fibre wrapped very neatly.
    Its Glossy and Looks Great.
    I just wanna know from where can I get such type of Glossy Carbon fibre wrapping done?
    Is there any alternative way to get it a glossy look?

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

        best to put 2-3 coats of clear over the vinyl, this will give you gloss and the vinyl will last very long.
        Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
        More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
        Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
        Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
        Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                      Re: Need Some Information On Carbon Fiber Wraps.

                      I have come here to resolve all the problems you will be facing with this 3D Carbon Fiber Vinyl Sticker, First and foremost thing after receiving this Vinyl is to clean your bike completely by getting a diesel wash and make sure every part of the bike is extremely clean, no dust, no oil marks or oil, then apply a tin coat of clear this is just to protect the Paint from Vinyl Sticker Damage when removing Vinyl in any case. After applying the coat it drys in around an hour to two hours depending on the thickness of the coat. If you have a new bike or already coated your bike before then this step don't apply to you. After the cleaning the bike cut the vinyl into a design or if you are covering the bikini faring make sure the design or the sticker is enough for the use you are looking for. Then just take off the sticker and use a comb or a vinyl applicator and slowly rip the sticker and by using the comb press it hard enough for it to stick and doesn't create any air bubbles.. if you get any air bubbles remove it asap by using the comb to air out the air bubbles out the sticker and that's it. You do not need any more coating on the vinyl since the vinyl is water proof, dust proof and the color on it lasts around 1 year to 5 years depending on the quality of the vinyl sticker.. So if you are looking to keep the sticker for a long time I suggest you go for highest quality of vinyl sticker and make sure to ask them about how long the color will last on the sticker. Other then that have a happy stickering job.
