Motor Stikers
Our stickers are not original, but remanufactured.
We use two kinds of method during the production of the stickers.
1. Printed stickers
We can only print base colors. The base colors are the ones without any letter notation in the color scale.
They always have a lamination for UV protection. The adhesive layer has air egress channels so it can be applied without any air bubbles. Tractile, easily malleable foil. Thickness with lamination is 100 micron. Premium, very high quality foil.
2. Plotter cut stickers
The decorations are cut out of different colored foils, then the different layers are sticked together.
The special colors (the colors with a letter notation in the color scale) can’t be printed, so those can only be made by the plotter cutting method. The mirror, rowmark, fluor, metal, reflective and carbon colors can’t be printed.
There are cases when the ordered stickers contain only base colors but the printing is not justified. For example, decorations, signs with only one color. In these cases the plotter cutting method is preferred.
The plotter cut foils also have excellent quality, you can read about these below. Thickness is between 50-160 micron. In the case of more layers, the thickness of the layers will add up.
We may use the two kind of technique together. The method used is based on our professional judgement, if you have a request please contact us.
----
Our stickers are waterproof, UV stable and varnishable. The decoration will arrive in three layers. The bottom layer is the carrier, the middle layer is the decoration, the upper layer is the application tape. During the making of the stickers, there won’t be any transparent base or colored base matching with your bike, only the chosen sign, decoration is applied with the help of the application tape. After application, the application tape needs to be pulled off. The background color chosen during the order (here the color of the bike is advised to choose) is not part of the product it just helps in the color selection.
Sizes
The sizes are given in centimeter, and we always give the overall dimensions, which means the widest and longest part of the decoration.
While uploading the products we try to keep the original sizes, but it worth it to check upon it. We also noted the sizes on the bottom of the page for a lot of sets. If it’s missing and you would like to get more information on the sizes, please contact us by email.
Original, manufactured colors
The colors used for making the motorbike stickers may differ from the original, manufactured colors. Upon request we can send color swatches via post.
Color accuracy
The colors seen on the website are largely dependent on your monitor and other settings, so they are only approximate. Upon request we can send color swatches via post.
Color combinations, size modifications
We can also make the stickers in different sizes, colors or color combinations. Please contact us by email. Please don’t forget to add the item number of the sticker set you wish to modify.
Coordinating the polishing and the sticker color
In the case of a lot of motorbike, the polishing color needs to mach with the color of the sticker. For example: the polishing is red and the sticker is yellow, but on a different part beside it the polishing is the yellow and the sticker is the red. As the color of the used foil is the determinative, in this case the polish needs to be mixed for the sticker. For choosing the exact color, upon request we can send color swatches via post.
Raster or gradient printed stickers
We can’t remanufacture the original raster or gradient printed colors in every case. In these cases, we use the shade closest to the original color.
Unfilled, No color
At the color choosing platform the last option is „unfilled, no color”. With this option one color can be turned off. For example, if a contoured sign contains two colors but you would only like to order it in one color, then on one of the color options you should choose the „unfilled, no color” option. Please note that with this option a few sign can disappear too.
About the application tapes:
Two kinds of application tape is available.
Sticker sets
There is a chance that the set won’t contain all of the original manufactured stickers. In the case of ordering one set, all the pieces seen in the color choosing window will be ordered.
Sticker set modifications
The sticker sets can be modified. Please contact us by email. Please don’t forget to add the item number of the sticker set you wish to modify.
You can’t find the type you searched for?
Please contact us by email. Add the brand, type and manufactoring year of the bike. Always send a picture of it too. It is okay if you search for one on the internet. This way the process will be faster and easier.
Marking the manufacturing year
We try to note the manufacturing year for every type, but in many cases it is missing. There can be sets compiled for a personal vision too.
Resin stickers
During the making of the resin stickers, the self adhesive sticker is coated with a lenticular layer. This way, a special 3D effect can be reached. This coating is a soft resin, which is UV stable, doesn’t sallow or break up and stays clear for years. Its thickness is 2mm. Due to its thickness we only recommend it to plain surfaces, because it is not malleable.
As we are only introducing this product our sets don’t contain this type of stickers. There will be a seperate resin sticker category soon, which will be updated continuously. Until then, if you would like to order resin stickers please contact us by email.
Varnishing
The stickers can be varnished with water-based varnish. The outcome of solvent based varnishing is questionable. It is used a lot of times, but because of a lot of technical and personal criteria it is not always succesful. Without any experience, a test varnishing is advised. Upon request we can send testing material. MS2K varnish may be the most appliable, without any dilution, applied in several, thin layers. Any damage caused by varnishing is not refundable. Any kind of varnishing should be done at your own risk.
Cleaning, preparing the surface
Applying the product should be on a dry, dust and grease free surface. Before the application you should clean the surface with water mixed with detergent or shampoo. You must not use window cleaner or wax, because the product won’t stick to the surface. You can also use alcohol or white spirit (which can be bought in paint shops).
Freshly painted surfaces
If you wish to apply the product on a freshly painted surface you must wait for the necessary drying period, because due to the paint transpiration the decoration can blister up. This period can differ by paint type.
Uneven surfaces
Applying to uneven plastic surfaces is not advised because the foil can’t properly stick to them.
Things to do after the delivery
During transportation the application tape on the sticker can blister up due to the high temperature. Please put the sticker in room temperature for a few hours and it will gain back its original size, then you can smooth it back. The quality of the sticker will not deteriorate because of this. If the product won’t be used immediately, pack it back on the cardboard as it arrived. For longer storaging, it is advised to keep it in nylon packaging and in room temperature.
In case of any problem
If the order arrived and you find any problem with it, please contact us. We can always find a solution.
