    Vinyl wrapping a bike? or just paint it?

    I want to change the color scheme on my street plastics. Is there a way to vinyl wrap and not end up having wrinkles and bubbles? Or does wrapping it always come out a little fudged? If that's a no go, where can I get a professional paint job for street fairings?

    3M 1080 is the vinyl you want. I've also been thinking about wrapping my bike instead of a new paint job. I'm still undecided. One thing about the vinyl is sticking other graphics on top of the vinyl. It might be a pain to remove them down the road.

    Let me know, I can paint it or do the vinyl for you for cheap. The vinyl can look perfect if you buy the expensive stuff.
