Fuji Track / Fuji Track Pro / Fuji Track Classic

I bought a Fuji Track, but hated the graphics. I found this one on Flickr, and asked the guy how he did it.

He was really helpful, and sent me this message. I asked him if I could repost it here in case it helped anyone.

Since i've never seen an amateur paint job on a bike i've liked... i opted to cover the bike with scrap gloss black vinyl from a local vinyl sign shop (they're easy to find, look em up in the phonebook, internet, or industrial parks have shitloads of graphics guys)... ask them if you can buy some scrap pieces off of them they cant use that have been already cut from the jobs and cant be re-cut or re-used... they usually throw em away too (you could dumpster dive some... ) but usually they're cool enough to give you some...

the decals on the bike are under a layer of clear coat and aren't removable.. i did remove the fuji badge on the front cos it honestly looked cheap and kinda tacky.... (was raised off the front tube about a millimeter and looked chinese as shit... cough cough)

but to cover the bike, it takes a little practice, and even after i was done, there were still some wrinkles, but i tried to keep those on the undersides of the frame tubes where it isn't even noticable.

just take the scraps. and mark em w/ a pencil on the paper side that peels off by wrapping them around the tube and taking measurements (that way you know they fit before you cut and try to apply), then use a t-square and ruler or whatever to make sure you can cut the strips straight. then, when applying, if you choose to even do this...

is just uncover a centimeter or so of the complete edge of the strip, and apply it only a little bit at a time, making sure no wrinkles get in there, make sure to get enough scraps to do it a few times, it will take a little longer... but, it looks badass, and... it's easily removable, doesnt leave adhesive residue, and also protects the original paintjob....

good luck...

Oh yeah, if you were to buy some from them, it might at th emost cost you like $10-$20

The result when I tried it was this;
