Sticker Bombing - Yay or Nay?

m0nkeycheese on 02/12/2012 - 01:06

Ok, so I realise this probably isn't the place for this type of question, more of a car/motorbike forum but im after the opinion of the every day person rather than a motor head (who made this style popular)

First pic is my Moto as it sits today

Second pic is it with one of the guards 'sticker bombed'

Please note this is just a quick photoshop with some random stickers, although if i go ahead they will be japanese themed (Domo kun, Anime, general Japanese characters)

If done subtly it can make for an awesome focal point.

Or it can look utterly disgusting :/

I'm loving this and can't believe I haven't come across this before. Don't give it overkill like the last one and you will indeed have a pretty cool focal point for your bike. Be sure to post after pics if you decide to do it and maybe avoid smiley stickers and an overuse of the color yellow.

  Those stickers on the last one are probably doing a really good job of holding rust together.

    LOL totally thought the same thing when I first saw it too.

I think your bike looks pretty sweet as it is, but stickers would be ok too.

Very cool when done in patches

Kinda reminds me of a dashboard full of dolls or perfume bottles, i dont get it. But kudos for making an empty space more interesting.

debated topic, i dont mind it if its not out of hand

ie. odd piece of dash trim, one guard, fuel flap etc. is enough, more than that and you're losing it imo

Looks great the way you've photoshopped it! I much prefer the ones where they've mainly used images composed of blocks of colour. Text doesn't seem to work so well unless it's exaggerated like graff and looks almost like an image.

This topic btw would be best suited to the Off-Topic forum.

Don't really like it…Perhaps if it was on a show car for certain reasons..But a car in general pretty much no for me.

Looks alright, would be probably look scabby over time if exposed to sun / over hot engine areas etc
- m0nkeycheese on 05/12/2012 - 21:31
  
  Yeah I've decided against it.. mainly for that reason
