Materials

The graphic is created by combining two different materials: the adhesive film on which we print the design and the transparent laminate that protects the print and defines its finish. We use Substance Incorporated materials for our graphics.

The printing base

It is the adhesive backing on which the design is printed. The images show three possible base effects: white, silver chrome, and holographic chrome. These are printing bases, not laminates.

Gloss white printing

White adhesive film on which we print the design. It is the visual base for a graphic with solid colors.

Silver chrome printing

Printing backing with a silver mirror effect. The visual result depends on the printed graphic and the chosen laminate.

Holographic chrome printing

Chrome backing with multicolored reflections. The effect appears in the parts of the design intended to leave the base visible.

The protective laminate

It is the transparent layer applied over the print. It protects the graphic and determines its final appearance: gloss, matte, or with decorative flakes. The term Crystal refers to a thick, protective laminate for motorcycle graphics, not a single Substance product.

Transparent gloss

Transparent protective laminate that adds shine to the printed graphic.

Transparent matte

Transparent protective laminate that reduces reflections and gives a matte appearance.

Gold glitter

Gloss transparent laminate with gold flakes: adds reflections over the printed graphic.

Holographic glitter

Gloss transparent laminate with flakes that reflect multiple colors, visible as the light changes.

Availability and prices: for Full Custom kits, standard printing and gloss laminate are included in the base price. Other options and any surcharges depend on the kit: always check the product page before choosing. The images illustrate the finishes and do not, by themselves, indicate availability for every motorcycle.

Motocross and road motorcycles

For motocross, we use a thicker Crystal laminate, designed for plastics and off-road use. Motocross material must be applied exclusively dry.

For road, naked, sport, and adventure motorcycles, we use a thinner Crystal laminate, better suited to fairing shapes and painted surfaces. It can be applied dry or using the wet application technique.
