Excellent work! I am a huge fan of vinyl wrapping bikes.

From what I read, I understand that you used the reflective 3M vinyl for the main bits, but how are the color bits described?
Are they holographic gold, or just holographic silver that looks gold because of the background? Brand and model of the vinyl chosen is appreciated too!

Thanks and good job!

Color bits are a color changing transparent tape, actually looks chrome to bluish gold on a white background, but on the black they turned the gold to green which I thought was kinda cool and different. The reflective vinyl is 3M 8850

Is it the transparent chameleon wrap people use on car headlights, or is it something else? Your bike has me inspired to add some accent decals to mine using the same color changing effect as your bike.

Something similar to that yes. They have all kinds of stuff out there, and it may change different colors based on the background color.

This is so good looking. Did you have problems this this vinyl on curves? Looks like there's really no stretch in it. Also, how are the edges and points holding up? Any lift starting?

No issues on the curves but most the pieces are pretty small and can form easily. Some of the edges are lifting a little where I rub against them or from handling, but this is just kind of a trial run. If I wanted to do it for real then I'd clear over it and then it would be fine.

taking all the tape off, time for a new design. Thinking something similar, but with a little more flair :)
