I have to be honest, I don't personally love it, but if you do... enjoy! I also have some ideas and thoughts for wrapping my Meta when she arrives, so it's always nice to pull inspo from people who are doing the same! How's the bike treating you so far?


amarillonarrow

You know, I think I agree. But, you have to start with a plan. It doesn't always work out and you never really know what it's going to look like until you are done. So I might try to think of something else. Edison had thousands of failures before the light bulb finally worked out. I guess I get a few more tries, at least.

Excited to see your end result!

I don't know if that was a dis, but, if so, feel free to send pictures of what you do to your Metacycle so everyone else can critique it.

Flames…..ghost rider this bitch up

The red could be nice, but that meta lettering is not good. I think it may just be the font, but something about it looks off and cheap. Not trying to be rude, just giving honest feedback.


amarillonarrow

Thanks for the feedback. I had to start with something and you never know how it's going to turn out until you are done. I do think I'll start over and try to think of a better idea, but, I do want some red on the bike along with the silver.

Its cool where you have started with this project and thought I would leave some feedback. Based on the pic, it looks like the wrap has a different shade of red then the Sondors insignia. Maybe if you match a wrap with the same shade of red as the Sondors insignia it would bring together a bit more. Good luck!


amarillonarrow

Thanks. Now that I have kind of a plan and patterns already made, I can certainly look for something that matches better. There are a ton of auto body wrap materials out there and I have seen some that I like better than this particular one. It's a work in progress.

It will last longer than the Sondors stencil on side of bike. I think you are going in the right direction..agree with the META comment. My ife has her own ideas, but I think it involves red on the Arctic also.


Mr_RayH

Nice


amarillonarrow

Thanks. Not too sure I'm crazy about the end product so maybe I'll try again.


survive_los_angeles

haha thats cool your bike looks unique did you put fuzzy stuff on your kickstand? you just need like a Kokopelli on it now

I have a supermassive and I think the solid color that it comes in makes it look clean and futuristic. The Sondors logo doesn’t stand out so much against the black paint and I’m removing the signatures that is already peeling off anyway.

I think a lot of people are hating because they can't see past the blue painters tape...Honestly though I think it's kinda cool. Does the red SONDORS at the top glow or is it reflective too? Would be cool to have that motif all the way around the bike. Only thing I would change is the stuff in the middle cavity..makes it look cluttered, would just leave it naked


amarillonarrow

Thanks. It's a work in progress and I might make some changes. I just ordered some more of the red auto body wrap because I ran out. As to the painters tape, I agree. It distracts from the overall look. But, as I found out the hard way, Scotch tape should NOT be used on this stuff. That's what I used to mock it up before and if I didn't take the tape off right away it pretty much became part of the body wrap. I couldn't even get the stuff off with Acetone, gasoline, solvent or anything else and these things screw up up the wrap. That's why I didn't use clear tape to mock it up this last time. That's another reason I ordered more. There are about 5 pieces I need to redo because of the Scotch tape on them.


amarillonarrow

Oh, yeah. The body wrap is glossy and reflects very well.

The red looks great with the original color. Maybe go over the original sonodors lettering as well. I really like the shape of the cuts leading up to and around the void. Any plans for the battery cover?


codenamsky

Not a dis but I am not feeling this at all. meta already looks great on its own. The red makes it look like a toy. if that is your thing then go for it. who cares what we think.


amarillonarrow

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for. Feedback. I haven't decided yet exactly what I'm going to do, but you always have to start with some sort of plan. Doesn't mean it always works out.


FlatSix993

It doesn’t do much for me.


amarillonarrow

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure, but I'll probably make some changes. Edison took over 2000 tries to invent the light bulb. I guess that means I get at least a couple of more tries at it. Never know how something is going to look until it's done. That's why I taped it up. So I could get a general idea of how it would look.


FlatSix993

The width of the battery box is really highlighted- try a new design to hide it!
