DIY Custom Decals For Your Bike pt1 : Bike Logos
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Just picked up my new frame from Area Cycles, Castro Valley and I'm super stoked about it!!! However, I am still waiting for some parts that are on back order and until that sorts itself out, I'm not able to put the bike together... So, why not spend the time by making some custom decals? And of course we have to do it in mrpercussive fashion where it's done with no special tools and more importantly, it's done for cheap! Here's Part 1 showing you how we change the colors of your bike logos! Keep an eye out for Part 2 where we continue to explore making graphics and such as well!
Materials
Masking tape
Sharpie
Ruler
Scissors
Knife
Vinyl (I used automotive vinyl wrap. $15 for 24x60")
Alcohol
Water
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been looking for a way to make decals without those €500 cutter machines. I've had so many ideas for decals and its been so annoying not being able to create and use them on my MTB. thank you again!
Absolutely! Have fun with it! Let us know how it goes!
Thanks! This is rad! FYI - You can glue computer paper to the masking tape. Print cool graphic. Glue to tape. Tape to vinyl. Cut out. BAM!
Brilliant!
It's more efficient to use adhesive printing paper.
1. Outline decal on tape.
2. Stick tape onto regular copy paper to use on a copying machine.
3. Insert adhesive printing paper into copier and make as many copies as you want.
4. Take the copied printed decal and peel/stick it on the back of the vinyl sheet that you want to use on the bike.
5. Cut out the letters then peel/stick onto bike.
@obliviondio yes but the whole point of this was to not need any special tools

Copying machines are not hard to come by. Tons of businesses have them these days. Also if you can order rolls of vinyl then you can also order adhesive printing paper.
That's great, Nicely done 😉
I like this a lot ,decals for unemployed people ,same result as the expensive sign making software and machinery .
comes out pretty well... just gotta be patience and a steady hand
Amazin' dude this is so sick as you said ! 🤣 😎 greetings from México 🇲🇽 ✅
Yea man just a great cheap hack to customise your bike!
This is awesome 👏 bravo!!! I was googling how to replace the colour of my bike frame decals and i am so happy I found your video. Thank you very man. Great video and very helpful! More power and have many more subscribers to support your channel! 👍🏼
Rad! Glad this will help. Just remember to wrap it with clear helicopter tape after as car vinyl is pretty fragile
This is really awesome! You gave me some ideas. I will use the masking tape to create a template of my decals, then I will put my vinyl on a cutting mat and put the masking tape template over it. Cut out the decals, remove the unnecessary parts and then place transfer tape onto it. No I can transfer the whole decal as one.
Rad! Glad that helped!
Good Job, dude👍🏼! I need to make new decal stickers for my John Deere tractor. Thanks for sharing. Take care. God Bless.
Rad!!!!! Yea I guess that'll work for that too! Just make sure to get some clear 3m helicopter tape to wrap right over it so it really stays on there as automotive wrap isn't exactly the toughest material
@@mrpercussive Awesome! Thanks for the tip. Glad i bumped onto your channel!
Looove this!! Your bike looks amazing. This is exactly what I need to cover some accents on my bike that I’m not into…some chrome striping will look so much better!
rad! just remember to cover it in some clear 3m helicopter tape as car vinyl wrap can be somewhat fragile
"Plup, plup" with spray just killed me :-D
I was thinking of just going to the island at the mall for custom-made stickers. Any color any font on the low low. But it came out great
rad! glad it worked out!
Yoooo! I'm in Hayward. Kenji from Area Cycles is that dude!
Hell yea man!!!!! Please tell him I said hi next time you see him!
Saving this one in my Projects playlist :) Quite a few ideas came to mind after watching this. GREAT video man! Thank you (oh, and that frame is looking sexier now)
Time to get those yellow pivot logos into sparkly green to match the DVO!!! Thanks man... really can't wait to get the bike together... I'm only waiting on a rear axle, seatpost collar and a headset... :S
Looks like fun
Looks great !!!
Thanks!!!🤟😁
Thanks for this dude!
Enjoy!
Love the videos man:):)
Thanks man! Glad you dig them!
dont forget to do a clear coating on the whole frame afterwards or your fancy decals will fall off after 1 week if exposed to sunlight.
or at least do a lazy man's clear coating but then you will see where the coating ends.
no matter wht you do there is no easy way to paint custom stuff or do decals without a coating if you dont want to do this each week.
me personally, i didnt found a adhesive foil that sticks to frames longer then a few weeks.
I use clear 3m helicopter tape over it like regular ridewrap. Still looks good and clean after all these years
Looks Great..
thanks! yea its so simple yet the final product is just rad af!
Ok well need to make some decals. 🤟🤟🤟🤟 so sick. Officially subbed 🙌
Hahaha! Thanks for the sub! Yea i'm broke so I come up with cheap hacks... This one looks hella sick though...
@@mrpercussive I'm cheap too lol that's why I'm going to do this🤟
@@RydenDirty Hahahah! Fosho! Yea they look great and an easy way to help color coordinate with anything you want. You'll also have a bunch of people asking you to make some for them too though 😂
@@mrpercussive hahaha I'm sure of it 😅
you should prank call people in say Im Ashton kutcher haha 😂😂
Thank you for this!!
Absolutely! Enjoy! Just remember to do a layer of clear racer tape over it or ridewrap as vinyl alone isn’t very durable
I need gold on my transition sentinel to match the TRP gold dh brakes and calipers !!
Dopeassdecal. Bahahawah-hooooo
Nice tip thanks
You're welcome!!!🤟😂
Pretty cool. But I definitely don't have a drill of chrome vinyl lying around my house.
Yea I should've clarified more that I'm not using a fancy cricut or anything. That said, I'm just automotive vinyl that I got off ebay for $15 24x60". You can also use this hack with any stickers and stuff that you have collected over the years. I have buddies that collect stickers of craft beer cans and that could make pretty cool decals as well! :)
Could you please share the brand of chrome vinyl you’re using?
i dont know what it was... just something i got off ebay. Just make sure to use some clear wrap to protect it after as vinyl is pretty delicate
P9😊😊😊
Where do you get the vinyl?
Think I got mine off eBay or something
Is it weather proof?
i put a layer of 3m clear helicopter tape over it and it looks new even after all these years so yes :)
Which colour you used in your cycle
I did chrome. Remember to also do a layer of clear racer tape over like regular ridewrap or something as Vinyl can be delicate especially for offroad use
Could tinfoil work to for the vinyl?
Or wrapping paper
if you cover it with clear racer tape it might but that's gonna be hard to get it lined up and stay to cover with clear tape
Dopeee😲🔥
Thanks ❄️
why does your voice sound like Ashton kutcher
Hahah do I really sound like Ashton? That’s hella funny!
