Customization isn't just for cars anymore! Motorcycles can now be customized too. How do we do it? With our wrapping ! Let's find out together about @nth_ninja's 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 650 motorcycle.
Why customize your bike?
Customizing your motorcycle with wrapping is becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons. Here are the main reasons and advantages:
Expressing your personality
- Unique aesthetics: wrapping lets you personalize the design of your motorcycle to suit your tastes, with a variety of colors, patterns and textures(matte, glossy, carbon, satin, glitter, chameleon or metallic);
- Visual identity: This offers you an opportunity to make your motorcycle recognizable and reflect your personal style or specific passion.
Protecting your motorcycle
- Shield against damage: The wrapping film protects the original paintwork from scratches, stone chips, scuffs and even UV rays;
- Preserving value: By avoiding damage to the original paintwork, wrapping helps maintain the resale value of your motorcycle.
Reversibility : yes, unlike permanent paint, wrapping is reversible. You can easily remove your wrapping to return to the original design, or change it as you wish.
Lower cost than paint
- Economical: Having your motorcycle repainted can be expensive, while wrapping offers a more affordable alternative to paint with a professional result;
- Reduced installation time: Installing wrapping is generally faster than painting.
Ease of maintenance: unlike paint, wrapping is easy to clean and can sometimes resist dirt and weathering better.
In short, customizing your motorcycle with wrapping is a modern, versatile and practical solution for protecting your vehicle while making a style statement. Still not sure? Check out this Kawasaki motorcycle makeover 👇
A white then brown Kawasaki motorcycle
@nth_ninja is a biker who isn't afraid to customize her bike to her heart's content. To start with, her 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 650 was white. A classic color for this young woman. That's why she decided to take the plunge and install a wrapping herself.
For this, she chose a wrapping Marrakech brown 3D matte from our range Variance Auto. It's the ideal solution for a customization project, offering a motorcycle in your image! It perfectly meets this beginner's expectations for wrapping on motorcycles:
- A 3D finish: thanks to the thermoforming process, this wrapping is perfectly adapted to the shapes and curves of this motorcycle under the action of heat either from a heat gun or a hairdryer;
- Airflow glue guarantees better film installation thanks to its micro-channels;
- Durability of up to 5 years if the film is installed under the right conditions (away from dust and at the right temperature) and in accordance with the installation steps.
This wrapping film has the advantage of being easy to maintain while reducing installation costs. In fact, it's entirely possible to install it yourself, as nth_ninja😉 did.
