Like the title says. It sounds like Ridewrap has a bit of a wait - is there anyone in the Vancouver area that does wraps? I know Lordco is always an option for high-wear - but I'm looking for matte finish if possible on my new noble steed.

Thanks,

Gord

You could order the kit and try it yourself?  It isnt rocket surgery, but does take some time and patience.  I dont know of anywhere in Vancouver that does wraps.

I've never had one done but know a couple people who have been happy with Matt @ https://rockblock.ca/

Not sure about the wait time.

Matt Furman is set up to do it. He did my latest bike. Amazing work, shorter lead times than Ridewrap. Not sure he has a website up yet. 604-715-7745 he's in North Van. I dropped him the frame, he scanned and wrapped it then delivered it to Bicyclehub for assembly.

So what product are they wrapping the bikes with? I worked on the car graphics- signage industry for years and have seen the clear 3M-Avery chipguard wraps pull paint off cars even when removed very carefully. Anyone having issues removing it off carbon frames?
