Whether you’ve got a sporty crotch rocket, a beefy hog, or a street-legal dirt bike, the California coastline is a popular destination for motorcycle drivers of all skill levels and sports. Whether you and your bike gang are driving coast to coast as an excuse to put miles on your bike or you’ve enjoyed the thrill of speed on two wheels for as long as you can remember, chances are your bike is much more than just a motorcycle and you do everything you can to keep it in great shape. Dropping your bike which causes paint scuffs offers a very different curb appeal than a build up of murdered insects gumming up your front end. To keep up the aesthetics of your motorcycle, the team at Jet Black Tint and Glass in Gilroy have a few upgrade options that are as protective as they are stylish.
Paint Protection Film
Motorcycles are at just as high of a risk for paint and body damage as their sedan and SUV counterparts. They are exposed to the same environmental factors including pollution, bugs, and weather. Paint protection film offers an invisible shield for the paint of your bike, providing a barrier between your motorcycle’s paint and scratches, bugs, moisture, and more. The PPF techs at Gilroy’s Jet Black Tint and Glass offer Global® PPF to protect your motorcycle from damage, fading, and minor trauma. The benefits of PPF extend beyond keeping your ride clean. Paint and body damage can be costly to repair, and many motorcycle owners find that it’s cheaper to just replace their entire bike. Global PPF helps prevent corrosion and expensive body damage before it begins. PPF makes cleaning your bike a breeze and prevents the most common damage your bike encounters.
Ceramic Coating
As a cheaper alternative to paint protection film, the ceramic coating offers a viable way to keep your motorcycle looking sharp. If you’re the mud-trail dirt bike kind of rider, you may not be as concerned about glossing your bike to a high shine, but the ceramic coating is a semi-permanent wax that keeps mud and debris from settling, making it all easy to wash away. For looks, this may not be important to you, but it offers a protective element by reducing the corrosive effect on your bike’s paint. Ceramic coating is quick and relatively inexpensive to install and has many benefits that include
Tinted Headlights and Smoked Taillights
Tinted headlights and smoked taillights are the practice of applying window tint to headlights and taillights to alter the glow from stark read to a sophisticated auburn. Adding a small amount of tint to your bike’s lights can make it look more intimidating and sleek. We cannot recommend strongly enough, however, that you avoid using tint that darkens your lights or makes them difficult to see by other drivers. Your safety on the roadways is much more important than looking cool — especially on a vehicle that other drivers often overlook, to begin with! That being said, the tint experts at Jet Black Tint and Glass in Gilroy can safely make some modifications to your motorcycle’s lights that will achieve your desired look without compromising your safety.
Vehicle Wraps
Custom vehicle wraps are the best way to create a unique look with your ride, regardless of what you’re driving. Traditionally used for advertising, modern vehicle wraps are available in hundreds of colors, finishes, and prints to add dimension and texture to your motorcycle. Create a personalized look to ensure that your motorcycle stands out and is an extension of you. Car wraps are placed on top of your car’s paint and can be easily removed in the event that you decide to sell your bike.
Vehicle wraps can be applied all over your bike’s body to create a custom paint job or you can apply your logo or race number to make your motorcycle stand out from the crowd. To upgrade to an individualized paint wrap, connect with the design team at Jet Black Tint and Glass of Gilroy today!
Chrome Delete
Chrome delete is the current trend of voiding the metallic trim on your vehicle using car wrap. To mute the metallic finish on your hog or black out your race bike, consider chrome delete as a major aesthetic upgrade. The technicians at Jet Black Tint and Glass in Glroy can transform your bike with matte black film applied to handlebars, levers, and anywhere else that’s metallic and flashy. The subdued look of chrome delete vehicle wrapping creates a dark, imposing look that’s enjoyed by serious bikers everywhere.
Windshield Repair and Replacement
Motorcycles have windshields for the same reasons that full-sized cars and trucks do — to protect the driver from being impaled by road debris. While motorcycle windows don’t greatly affect the overall structural integrity of a bike the way it does a sedan, a cracked or broken windshield on your motorcycle is just as dangerous. At Jet Black Tint and Glass of Gilroy, our glass technicians can repair minor glass chips and cracks or replace your windshield. In most cases, we offer next-day appointments, and when we can’t, we’ll get you in as soon as possible.
At Jet Black Tint and Glass of Gilroy, we have been upgrading and customizing vehicles of all types to increase the aesthetics and protection of the body and glass. While we are known up and down the California coast as the Bay Area’s auto tint shop of choice, we do so much more than tint car windows. We love the opportunity to make motorcycles unique and we cannot wait to get our products on your bike! To transform your bike into something truly personalized, connect with the design team at Gilroy’s JBT today!
