BMW Motorcycle graphics by the vehicle wrap experts at Iconography. We are proud to have designed, produced and installed these racing graphics on a BMW RR 1000.
Using a combination of customer printed 3M vehicle grade vinyl, and cast matte black vehicle vinyl, the vehicle wrap Ninja’s at Iconography gave this BMW bike an all-over graphics upgrade.
Custom motorcycle graphics are done in much the same way as traditional vehicle wraps. The same materials are used, typically 3M high performance vehicle vinyls and laminates.
The biggest difference is that while a minimal amount of material is used, the installation process is much more involved and lengthy, given the complex curves of the bike’s body parts. Often the fairings and other parts of the bike are removed to facilitate installation.
Hiring an expert to produce and install motorcycle graphics ensures a high-quality, durable finish that protects the bike’s bodywork while achieving a precise, custom look. Professional installers have the experience to manage complex, curved surfaces, avoiding common DIY issues like peeling, bubbles, and misalignment.
BMW Motorcycle Graphics Professional Installation
Hiring a professional graphics installer for your BMW Motorcycle graphics installation will save you time, money, and frustration. Here is why:
- Superior Installation Quality
Precision and Alignment: Experts ensure graphics are perfectly aligned, which is difficult on the complex, 3D curves of motorcycle plastics.
No Bubbles or Wrinkles: Professionals use specialized techniques to ensure a smooth finish, avoiding air bubbles and creases that detract from the appearance. Professionals have the experience to align complex, multi-piece kits perfectly, eliminating the bubbles, wrinkles, and misalignments that frequently plague DIY attempts.Proper Curing Time: Professionals know exactly how to apply and cure graphics (often 24–48 hours) to ensure long-term adhesion. A professional installation includes critical steps like meticulous surface decontamination and post-heating, which ensures the adhesive bonds correctly so the graphics don’t peel at the edges over time. - High-Quality Materials and Durability
Premium Vinyl: Professionals use high-quality, thick vinyl that is scratch-resistant and durable enough to withstand harsh riding conditions, mud, and UV light. We use only the highest quality materials from companies like 3M, Oracal and Avery. These high-grade, thick vinyl and industrial-strength laminates that are specifically designed to withstand UV damage, fuel spills, and heavy abrasion. - Protection and Value Retention
Bodywork Protection: A professionally installed, thick vinyl wrap protects the underlying plastic or paint from scratches, chips, and UV damage.
Increased Resale Value: A well-maintained custom look can increase a motorcycle’s resale value by up to 15%.
Longer-Lasting Results: Professional installation significantly reduces the risk of peeling, extending the lifespan of the graphics. - Time and Expertise
Avoid Hassle: Installing graphics is a time-consuming, frustrating, and delicate process. Hiring a professional saves you hours of work and potential rework. Motorcycle plastics have complex curves and recessed areas that can be incredibly frustrating to wrap. An expert can complete the job in a fraction of the time with a guaranteed result, saving you from “the ass-pain involved” in doing it yourself.
Expert Design: Professionals can design graphics that are tailored specifically to the curves and, for racing, the branding needs of your bike. - Cost Savings on Potential Mistakes
Avoid Wasted Materials: DIYers often make mistakes that require purchasing new kits, whereas professionals get it right the first time.
“Turnkey” Options: Many professionals can order the plastic components, apply the graphics, and deliver a ready-to-mount kit, saving you the hassle of disassembling your bike.
For complex or custom jobs, the initial investment in a professional installer ensures a “head-turning” result that looks, performs, and lasts better than a DIY attempt.
