I like the blue chrome! I am planning to do a wrap in the early spring. I am curious to see how good it looks, how easy it is to remove (just use a heat gun?) and find out if it will start to peel off on its own or gets dull or scratched quickly.

Thanks, glad you like it.  I will not be doing it myself.  I am waiting for a quote from a local shop.  I can't imagine it would be too expensive.  I am going to try to photoshop my carbon fiber and electric blue accents idea but I think it's going to be hard for me to get that to look real.

I believe if they came from the factory looking like that, their sales would increase tenfold. That looks amazing.

First thing I did when I got the SR was to black it out. Just plasti-dipped it for a quick / cheap / easy to remove trial, but it's starting to peel where it's rubbed now though so time for a full wrap. Quotes I've gotten so far are pretty ridiculous though due to the tank fairing being a bit angular and a pain to do neatly.

The Chrome wraps do look the goods if done nicely. Saw a new H2 with silver chrome the other day. Looking at scooters for the girlfriend currently and she's been talking about a 'holographic wrap' if that's your type of thing.

Of your mock ups though, personally I'd got for the Blue chrome over highlights. Fake carbon fiber always comes across a little tacky in my books.

Well I got the quote back today on the wrap.  $1300.  Way way over what I had guessed.  I may talk to someone about paint but unless some other place can do the wrap for a fraction of that cost I will not be doing a wrap.  I wanted the wrap because I thought it would be cheaper (wrong) plus it is easily undone and things like chrome and carbon fiber can be done.

The material is pretty cheap.  I bought a small section of the blue chrome and I'll try it out on the front fender in a few weeks.  If it goes well I will attempt the rest of the bike.

Plasti-dip isn't the best long-term solution. It's awesome for any material that doesn't contact another surface, but you'll run into peeling etc where your knees contact or where you kick the tail because you're too lazy to lift your leg high enough when jumping on the bike. Or maybe that's just me... That being said, it's awesome to trial a colour before going for something more permanent / expensive.

Best I've been quoted for a matte black vinyl wrap is AU$750. I've just got pricing through for black plastics from the local dealer and I can pick up tank, tail and front fender new for $379. For that price difference, I can live with the gloss finish.
