Should I have my motorcycle wrapped?
Motorcycle wrapping costs
Motorcycle wrapping is a modern and popular method of customizing the look of your motorcycle while protecting the paintwork from external influences. This technique offers a cost-effective alternative to repainting and enables flexible and quick customization of the design. By applying special types of film, such as colored or transparent paint protection films, you can not only give your motorcycle a unique look, but also protect the original paint from scratches and stone chips. The cost of wrapping varies depending on the scope and design requirements, but we’ll come back to that in a moment.

Film types
The digital printing film
Digital print wrapping for motorcycles is an effective method of applying individual designs to the vehicle trim. Professional wrappers create the design digitally, print it on special vinyl films and apply them professionally. The costs for this are between €800 and €2000, depending on the model and design. Self-wrapping is cheaper (300-600€), but complex and requires specialist knowledge. TPU vinyl films are ideal because of their flexibility and durability.
