MTB clear protection in CPT?

[extra300s]

Hi guys

 

What are your thoughts on doing a full 3M Vinyl wrap of a new MTB? Does it last and is it worth it? Lastly any companies or persons in Bellville/Durbanville area that does it?

 

Thanks

Go to Maiseys and get the 250 micron. Wrap it yourself

I use 3m PPF. I apply the film wet. Its very pliable and lasts quite well.

 

Great protection and easy to replace when needed. I purchase the film in a 300mm or 600mm role by the meter.

 

3m also do a mat film, depending on your bike finish.

They have the paint protection in stock but it's not as good as the stone chip vinyl, which they currently don't have in stock and couldn't give me a date as to when they will have it back in stock.

Why? it is a MTB and where I ride even the film does not protect it much. Also remember the weight!!

Any Suggestions on protecting my new Rondo Ruut CF frame.

I've heard something about Ceramic coatings being done. A company that Alan Hatherly is involved in. Anyone know of this?

Otherwise recommendations....

Armour Ride

You can check their website or instagram pages, i had Willem assist me through the entire process, picked my frame up from house wrapped it and dropped it off.

 

It helped that my frame was used to get a mould , so paid discount rates

I also recommend Armour Ride, Willem is an awesome guy. They wrapped my new bike in December last year.

Apply wet to avoid any bubbles 

Trust me, learnt the hard way.

I got some clear paint protection film from pg glass. R240 for 1.5mx20cm piece.

Also apply wet with a bit of soapy water to get no bubbles. Quite easy and you can cover most of your bike

Have anybody used the "art work" covers from Armour Ride ?

Just collected bike from Armour ride, based in Montague gardens in cape Town.

The workmanship is excellent ???? 

Willem and team are extremely accomadating and friendly bunch too.

Told them my budget and they did an excellent job working within that and finished the job in 3 days and basically protected more of my frame than I expected.

The pics don't show much as the Armour is practically invisible lol, but I am extremely chuffed and the finishing and how they managed the edges and curved areas.

The black Armour i requested specifically for the BB area as its harder and has most risk of big rock hits

I can second the above, 

They sourced a frame to create a kit for my wife's Giant Stance E and then shipped it up to Jhb to be fitted with Chain Wizard. 

Excellent kit. 

He is now doing the same for my Santa Cruz, cant complain at all with the workmanship and quality.
