General Terms and Conditions

When applying the film, the room temperature should be at least 15-20 degrees so that the film is not too stiff. It is also important that the application takes place in a bright, dust-free environment.

Cleaning the surface to be foiled

Thoroughly clean the surface to be covered. Make sure that the surface is free of residues such as tar stains, rust, grease or dirt and of course stickers.

The bonding

The following tools are required: tape measure (included), squeegee (included), sharp carpet knife or cutter , possibly hair dryer (for difficult areas e.g. bent tubes of a Dutch bike

How can I customize my bike without any experience?

A complete bike wrap is the ideal, cost-effective alternative to an elaborate new paint job. The best part: Our specialty films are applied dry and can be easily adjusted during application. If a section isn't perfectly positioned right away, simply carefully lift the film and reposition it. The adhesive only cures after some time. This makes it easy to customize your bike.

Step-by-step to the perfect result

Thoroughly degrease the frame: Clean the frame thoroughly (e.g. with standard glass cleaner) so that the adhesive and film can bond optimally.
Cut & fit: Measure the tubes and cut the films to size.
Smooth out bubbles: Stretch the film evenly over the frame and use your fingers or a squeegee to push air bubbles outward.
Shape with heat: A hairdryer warms the material, making it flexible and helping to mold the film perfectly around curves, joints, and edges.

Benefits at a glance

Protects the original paint from scratches, stone chips, and fading.
Removes without residue – perfect for resale.
Cheaper than painting or powder coating

care and cleaning

All of the films are relatively easy to maintain. Please do not use any solvent-based cleaners and always use soft brushes and sponges. A conventional glass cleaner is sufficient. Overly aggressive cleaners can destroy the adhesive on the film.

removing the foil

To return the bike to its original condition or to apply a new film, simply heat the existing film with a hairdryer and peel it off again without leaving any residue.

There are both advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages

It is a cost-effective alternative to painting, the original paintwork is retained
The bike can be returned to its original condition for later sale or dismantling
Bicycle foiling can give a bike a new look and distinguish it from other bikes
Ideal for families , as children's bikes can be customized inexpensively
The film can help protect the bike from scratches and other damage
Easy removal without damaging the bike

Disadvantages

For the complete foiling, you need some courage and craftsmanship . Otherwise, it is advisable to skip the areas that seem complicated and only cover parts of them.
Your hands and the frame must be free of grease. It would be a good idea to degrease the area again with glass cleaner before beginning each step, so the film will stick well to the film.
Reflective stickers and decals leave adhesive residue , but this can be removed with a standard solvent from a hardware store. For carbon bikes , we recommend applying a bicycle film underneath the reflective film. Then you can remove both without leaving any adhesive residue.
Wrapping an entire bike requires time and patience, and can't be done on the side. You should plan on about 2-4 hours.
