You want to wrap around the sides and onto the back so it doesn't lift. On the bike you won't be able to get it around the sides. The little curves and corners that you don't notice will be the hardest and you need to stretch it to get a good fit around them

Loosely mounted on the bike.
Whatever prep, painting, etc that you do.. Remember, the adhesion of your wrap is only as good as your prep.. So if its a shoddy primer job, the wrap will fail

Havent personally seen it done but ive watched vinyl wraps get put on on vehicles on T.V. from what i can tell all they use is a heat gun and some soapy water in a spray bottle. Remember one guy saying that he mixes water with Johnson baby shampoo...apparently works better? Im intrested to see how it goes, i was thinking of doing a few parts on my bike.
