This material is AWESOME

This vinyl is amazing. I recently bought a Giant Escape 2 bike to get in shape. After a rather unusual incident I received some rather unsightly scratches on the powder paint of the frame and while this didn't affect the function of the bike it drove me crazy to know they were there. I knew painting or powder coating wasn't really what I wanted to do. But I didn't mind putting some vinyl on top to hide the scratches. I found and tried this vinyl here at Revain. The bike is neon green and black so black vinyl would be perfect. The item came quickly and was well packaged. When you receive this, take a moment to look at the liner that comes with the vinyl. The history of the company is really cool. Thanks for that of course. I found vinyl easy to measure and cut. I cut out a few strips and "rounded" the ends so they weren't so square, then aligned them where I needed them on the bike. В прошлом я надевал довольно много виниловых вещей, поэтому метод, который я использовал, заключался в том, чтобы разместить кусок там, где я хотел, а затем использовать малярную ленту, чтобы закрепить винил на месте одним длинным краем, БЕЗ снятия подложки, чтобы обнажить Glue. . After double checking, simply peel back the vinyl to remove the backing and reveal the adhesive, then slowly lower it back into place. Masking tape keeps it right where you want it. This method is great for long, thin parts. But if they're a bit "thicker" in width, it's best to tape them down to a shorter size so you can work with the bubbles easier. reinstallation. The vinyl lay very well, no bubbles for me. Excellent! As soon as I put it on, I was really impressed by how it looked. As I moved around the garage, I could see the vinyl's reflectivity in action. It wasn't until I took the flash shot that I could really see how crazy he looked. It is the same as the picture in the description, bright white! Brilliant! I think I will install more of these on my bike. It never hurts to improve your visibility. I really like this product and am very happy with my purchase. Oh, and one last piece of advice. Be sure to clean the surface you are applying the vinyl to first. This helps ensure it stays nice and smooth.
