3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrapping
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 01. 2019
- As winter has well and truly kicked in, I thought I'd use the time to crack open the carbon vinyl that I've had sitting around, and wrap some bike parts. Not a job for the faint hearted, or for anyone who suffers from light rage!
Hope you enjoy it and think about having a crack at it yourself! If you have any questions on how its done, then fire away in the comments section below.

Top job Shaun!
Cheers dude👍😜
Patience’s of a Saint, nice job 👍
Cheers pal👍
good job Shaun, it brought back the memories of when i wrapped the panniers on my GSA, god i wanted to cry on so many occasions during that project. sole destroying.
It's a bugger of a job for sure! Just done the front fender, which was a bit tricky
Great how to video, thanks from Australia TheLikeableRider
Thanks buddy, glad you liked it!
Cheers great video
Thank you 😜
Well done looks the mutts, i enjoy the tinkering vlogs .
Thanks! I definitely enjoying making them, and am glad to have them as a part of the channel.
Like the outcome... looks like real carbon fiber .. more power...
At least 5bhp more
What a bloody fiddle but nice job Shaun 👍😉
It's not a great solution for the anger management
Great job, going to tackle some bits on my bike soon. I'm anticipating teaching my street some new words in the process!!
Do you still use the primer?
I didn't on this part, I got given a big roll of this carbon vinyl (not 3M) and it didn't like the primer!
Hi Shaun, will it work on metal? I’m thinking of covering the footrest hangers, where my boots have scuffed them.
Many thanks
It sticks great on metal if it's painted, shiny surfaces seem to work best. You'll struggle to get it to stick if the surface isn't smooth. If I remember I wrapped the footrest hangers on my tiger.
Good work mate, looks awesome, it’s a pain in the ass to do and I do t have the patience! Lol
Yeah it's a real rage tester lol
Lol I bet! Any other bits to do? Hugger? Small black Fairing parts?
Possibly! But a lot of the plastic aren't smooth and have some structure to them, which rules wrapping out.
Yeah just do the bits which will come out like the tank, and don’t look too chavy!
Yeah it's easy to go over board which makes it look shit. There's not really many more bits I can do, front fender perhaps, or part of it.
Your getting quite good at applying the vinyl wrap fella, for that sort of plastic you want apply an etching fluid first, it helps with adhesion, still nice job.
I have a primer but for some reason it doesn't like this vinyl, the glue from the vinyl ends up coming off when you move it around, and makes a mess of the part I'm wrapping. Watched a few pros doing it, and they said if I wrap it correctly there's no need for primer. Never the less, thanks for sharing the tip😜
@@thelikeablerider8800 Yes the Pro's do say that but having worked with one in the past and the fact that 3M produces it! they do use it, in fact they employ a few tricks they don't like to admit to especially when time is short.
Yeah I can imagine they don't tell you everything, and cheat when they need too lol
It's getting there mind you, and considering I taught myself how to do it, I'm happy with the results. Always happy to take tips and constructive criticism onbaord. There's another wrap vid coming for this weekend where I tackle the front fender.
@@thelikeablerider8800 oh joy of joys curves going different directions? You will have fun with that, something to hold it would be my tip! Not buying the new Superduke GT then?
Great result bud. Is there a certain temperature you set your heat gun? I'm having trouble with vinyl lifting on inward creases, like the ones in the middle of the part you just did. Any tips?
Not sure what the temp is, wasnt on the hottest, but definitely hotter than say a hairdryer
@@thelikeablerider8800 thanks I'm trying to do air vents that are raised circles and the vinyl seems to want to lift away from the bottom crease.😢 I'm using good quality 3m stuff lol maybe I just need to practice
Keep at it👍😜
Give it some extra don’t stretch it to go into gaps
How hardy is it? Will it wear quick on areas rubbed more?
It's pretty hard wearing!" Had it on my bikes for many years and never had to redo it.
What is the name you holding just like ATM card
It's a squeegee from 3M
You dont use water to spray the vinyl ?
No went on without water
Painful, I’ve done it before, good vid mate, I need to send you some stickers btw!
Yeah it's a real bastard of a job lol
Stickers! We like stickers
Anything with a curve is a nightmare mate.
Just takes practise m8 and more and more parts become possible
great job, but how many hours did it take you?
That piece probably took an hour or so👍😜
