Vinyl Wrapping a Bike Frame

So in this video i finish wrapping the rest of the bike this isnt too long of a video cause most of the process is the same as the fork. This vinyl was a lot easier to work with and I think looks a lot better. Let me know what you think of the final product.
If you would like to do this yourself Here is a link to the equipment and vinyl.

For those that want to comment saying this is impossible it is not and my job isn’t 100 percent perfect but I will send videos and pics to any naysayers. There are bike wraps that are a million times better than this and there are some that are garbage. But to say this is impossible is complete and utter ignorance this was my first wrap job on a bike and there were quite a few things I would change about what I did but the fact of the matter is it can be done.

[@logancameron5812]

What size vinyl did you buy?

[@bigmeme9026]

@@logancameron5812 I second this, how much vinyl did you need?

[@fasih_rehman]

Great job!

Dude that looks freakin sick! It so unique but awesome I’ve always had a soft spot for really loud colored bikes

[@FatGuyBiking]

Michael Scott yeah me too I actually wanted the whole thing the hilighter color but I like the way this came out

[@mrpercussive]

that camo looks sick! definitely gives me some ideas!

[@w1923]

Dude thanks for recording this. That looks great. This is a lot of help.

[@FatGuyBiking]

No problem it’s not the easiest and takes a lot of time and mines certainly not perfect but it came out great in the end.

[@alexmarianetti7586]

came out epic. you're videos just keep getting better and better

[@FatGuyBiking]

Thanks bud that’s all that I hope is I can keep improving.

[@MILTONATOR]

Wow! I’m impressed. Didn’t anticipate the end result to be so good. Nicely done man.

[@kennyeggs]

Wow dude-impressive. Nice work.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Great idea for a one of a kind bike, you won't lose that one in the weeds! You're right, the camera doesn't do the colors justice. My girlfriend was impressed that you had a Cricut, lol

[@FatGuyBiking]

Sorry Steve YT notification systems pretty terrible as im sure you know but I just saw this but yeah its actually not too hard to do but its just time consuming

Yes sir but just takes time thats the biggest thing

Super cool

[@andtogmo796]

Cool Project, i wasn't sure of the idea on my bike but now that i have seen you done it gave me the confidence; also next time try to leave some clearance on the treats for ease service and maintenance; cheers from mexico

Yeah I’m still not happy with it but this bike doesn’t really have good places to run it.

Thanks Sam if you ask my wife I don’t have patience but my great great grandfather in Italy was a watchmaker so I guess it’s in there somewhere haha

Dude u think it looks bad?? It looks AWESOME!!!

[@joshclemons6612]

You did do a good job wrapping that!! Looks good, my favorite color is blue so I wouldn't have changed it but... Your the one riding it :) You showed that it can be done... But if I wanted to do this I'd probably look into paying someone with the experience to do it for me..

[@FatGuyBiking]

To be honest its a ton of work but the best part its temporary.

[@michaelzuniga6839]

Wow I'm gonna have to check this out might be easyer that a paint job.

[@genyudiaz8344]

Good job, dont forget to user water with soap they will help you move the Vinyl around the points of installation.

[@FatGuyBiking]

This vinyl is meant to be used dry

[@jvac1129]

Didnt even cross my mind that you could do this. I might try it in my forks. Doesn't look easy though.

[@holirumicsfriend]

Nice!

[@fredrick8899]

Wish there was a tutorial from you bro on how do it your way, so awesome

[@nathancantwell602]

The bike sure does pop now. Quite effective result for relatively little cost.

[@FatGuyBiking]

Thanks bud yeah something different at least !

[@AMPhotoArt]

Does vinyl have a smell when you heat it up? My brother is building a bike and wants me to create custom vinyl artwork for it.

[@user-fr7pv8qr6u]

How much wrap would I have to get for my 26inch wrapping it all. Except for the Rams thanks in advance

Thanks Rex likes to be on camera a lot if I would let him he would be on the table with me

[@t.c.sheridan2410]

What do you do when you get to a seam between pieces of wrap? Do you try to mate the two edges or do you do a small overlap?

[@matijaivanpazin406]

respect

[@jakecrowe22]

Love the video and your bike looks amazing. I also noticed your fork needs to be cut at the top and you need some cable management.

[@FatGuyBiking]

Thanks bud Yep it does

[@TrailMaker2]

great job, I like it a lot! also, I think you have a little bit of a chain sag.

[@lilnorthshoreshredder4624]

That looks amazing! So much time and attention to detail. You should be very proud of this. No-one else has a bike that looks like yours!

[@FatGuyBiking]

Thanks bud it sure was a lot of work

[@mattdeso1672]

Dude, this was awesomely ambitious!

[@FatGuyBiking]

Thanks it’s certainly not perfect by any means but it looks somewhat decent considering I was in a rush to do it and it’s removable which is the best part.

[@thedude4005]

Yo! I know, it’s been a few years since this video was posted, and I think it looks amazing! Do you have more pics posted somewhere of closeups on the seams or edges? Have you done any more frames since this? Looks awesome man, thanks for the video.

[@satinis]

Would vinyl wrap work and hold up on a bike seat?

[@jellebuelens1611]

hey dude i really want to do this myself but how did you wrap the welds where your frame bars come together?

[@FatGuyBiking]

I just cut where the welds are with a razor blade. The nice thin with the camo it hides the seam.

[@jellebuelens1611]

@@FatGuyBiking thanks!

[@wwy48]

what is the name of the color of this yellow-green vinyl? Any link for this vinyl?

Buddy! Your camera work needs to improve

[@amberbleakney3851]

Nice video if your table....

[@bigmeme9026]

How much vinyl did you need?

[@youtubeaccount8367]

Did you use knifeless tape for this project? Also, how did you wrap the protrusions that hold the shift/brake cables?

[@david029014]

Awesome work! What brand vinyl do you recommend to do this

[@doriangilca3769]

Maaaan, it looks awesome, i want to do the same thing with my bike and i searched some videos, just to be sure it s not impossible to do it. Your bike is cool, i really appreciate it.

[@FatGuyBiking]

I was kinda rushing this job cause I wanted to release the video, but if you take your time and use measurements it’s possible. All in all I think it took me 9 hours if I didn’t rush it it would have taken at least twice that but it would have looked even better.

[@ccsryan6214]

The bike is really nice but how many feet of vinyl did you buy?

[@FatGuyBiking]

ccs ryan I think it was two rolls of the camo and those were 5’x1’ each and a roll of the highlighter the same size

[@bikermonster8354]

Great work but tricky, if you wrap vinyl around gussets. Respect. I wraped my bike too for many years. And the vinyl for 10 years was not the best quality. But now it is better and the designs are awesome. Best wishes from Germany. And now fire and shred the Trails.

[@FatGuyBiking]

Yes the vinyl that is out now days is 1 million times better especially the air release vinyl I love it!! Thanks again sir!!

[@sethscheller584]

So how is your wrap on your bike holding up?

[@david029014]

Do you have to really take the bike completely apart?

[@sleepy438]

is it possible without knife tape please

[@turningpointauto]

It looks good but your going to sell it as soon as you can anyways. Believe me when you start trying to upgrade your bike your always thinking about selling it and seeing if this will help your re sale. I bet you will be on a new bike this season!!!! But it looks great man.

[@FatGuyBiking]

Haha I hope that’s the case but the only way I’ll be on a new bike is if the Wifey gives me the ok and I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Plus not sure I would sell it as the wifey needs a bike and this one would fit her good since it’s a small.

[@jesse-dg8yx]

Oh nice. I was actually just about to wrap my rims with holographic vinyl, I'm just waiting on shipping. I ride bmx and my bike is all black, with a raw frame, then I saw a clip of a holographic frame and I was instantly in love so I thought holographic rims would be pretty sick with my style of riding. I hope it goes successfully and if it does I'll probably be wrapping all sorts of bike parts from now on because the thingys you can do is actually sick Here's the original post I saw to get the inspiration instagram.com/p/BuWslvGneIs/?igshid=x3r1t7our6v2

[@FatGuyBiking]

Nice I like that too but I was going to do the rims in the hilighter but it was too thick plus didn’t want to relace the wheels as it would be a million times easier with them delaced

[@jesse-dg8yx]

@@FatGuyBiking I was going to take apart my wheels so I have the bare rims to wrap them then lace them back up. Not sure how thick the vinyl I've ordered is but I'm sure I'll make it work. Somewhat thankfully I've recently done my wrist and ankle in as well as having about a week of rain and wind coming up so I have a fair amount of time to get it done without missing out on riding

[@FatGuyBiking]

Nice it should be a quick job then

No problem bud anytime good luck and take your time (unlike I did) and it will come out amazing

[@riseofthegorgons2128]

The bike is sick! I just wish you would actually record the bike instead of your work shop. Every time you go and wrap the vinyl your cam records in front of you rather than below you. It's hard to see what you are doing to make it work .

Thanks Erika, Thats my bad as I didnt have a tripod at the time but I will be doing another one soon enough.
