> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > Frame, plastics or whole bike? I want to take the 636 I pick up and make it white. So tank, and all colored plastics. I’d rather wrap a bike than repaint it for many reasons. Resale value and cost to paint being my 2 main points. Anyone local able to do this? Reputable shops? Price points? ---

Hmm idk, although I understand where you’re coming from with the resale value and cost of paint, idk if I’d want to wrap vinyl on my plastics only because I feel it would look cheap and/or not turn out right ---

Hahah totally understandable =P Would you have it wrapped in one big sheet or smaller sheets lined up? I’m thinking that it would be a pain, plus you might be able to see where the sheets meet up/overlap, it would look crappy IMO How long do you plan on keeping the bike? If you want a white bike, paint it and enjoy it, you’re gonna lose resale if you keep it awhile anyways, make sure you don’t wreck it and you should still be able to keep a fair value when you decide to sell. ---

not worth it. the tank is 2 pieces, theres too many bits and pieces and nooks and crannies… etc etc… just paint it, theres a guy on nfb that’ll do it white for ~500 he said. professional job too. You just have to bring him all the pieces. ---
