So about a week ago I decided to start rebuilding a warrior as a Christmas gift to my girlfriend started out pretty simple20241215_141805.jpg
Just needed the entire electrical system replaced, a carb rebuild, rear tires, an alignment, a clutch, every nut and bolt tightened, and some minor cosmetics. While I was doing necicarry repairs I handled some ergonomic mods too, handlebars, grips, modified shifter and foot pegs. Wrapped in her favorite color20241224_164653.jpg
If I'm lucky she will like it lol.
Merry Christmas everyone!
 
Did it myself. It's vvivid brand's "goblin blue" and it was only my second time wrapping anything, let alone something such complex shapes. Proud of myself for how it came out.
Most importantly, she likes it!
 
The vinyl wrap adds 3x to the value. Looks real nice! The hood piece had to be a PITA to wrap.

Did you have to add any sort of adhesive to any of the plastics? I've never wrapped anything.
 
It was a pain in the ass indeed, the hood especially needed to be done in multiple pieces lapped together.
The wrap has its own tacky adhesive to it, though I'm sure there's more available I didbt need any. Once you warm and stretch and get it in place you go over it once more real hot and that kinda cooks the glue in.
I wrapped the rear fender on my other quad and 2 years later it's still pretty decent, except where I had an edge that wouldn't stick and it's getting dirt packed under it. This particular wrap is pretty thick and does well against scratches and such. It's waaaay harder than paint but it holds up alot better and when the time comes to change it it's way easier to unwrap plastic than it is to unpaint it
