Vinyl wrapped the intake covers on my R18B to add some color today.

Yes it does look good! ... would you do me (and probably others as well) take some pics how you did that ... kinda step-by-step ... never seen it done and it looks like one hell of an alternative to paint ...

Oh man, I needed both hands and both knees to make it work. Maybe when I get better at it I can post the process. A lot of heat gun and re-lifting and re-applying the vinyl.
 
Nice contrast with the Candy Red against the Black - are you intending on wrapping some more parts?
I have done car bonnets (hoods) in the past which are much easier than small parts like that - nice job (y)
 
Wow that stands out! I’m not sure I would like the look personally but you did a great job. Looks really professional 👏
makes me think though of the possibilities…

that Red intake covers does POP out very well on the bike...(y)(y)(y)

I been thinking of the Ali's Carbon covers for the head covers, but after see these red covers you did, i re-thinking my options..

I wonder how vinyl would take the heat. That could be a much less expensive option than replacing all the chrome....
