Do you want a decal kit that stands out, shines, reflects light, or gives a style never seen on your bike?
Chrome, holographic, holo lamination, fracture… Not easy to find your way, especially when each finish gives a totally different result.

In this guide, we clearly explain clearly the differences between each effect to help you choose the one that matches your style, your bike, and your use.

🔥 1. Holographic Printing - the iconic silver effect

Holographic printing is the most well-known finish.
Colors are printed directly on a silver holographic film, giving an ultra shiny and iridescent finish.

Advantages:

• Very strong holographic effect

• Flashy look, immediate visual impact

• Perfect for very colorful bikes

Limitations:

• Colors become slightly silvered

• Higher price

• More “extreme” style, less neutral

Who is it for?

For those who want a decal kit visible from 200 meters away, fans of flashy style, stunt, shows, supermoto.

🔥 2. The Holographic finish - colors stay vivid

This is THE finish that people most often confuse with standard holographic.

Here, the colors are printed on a classic white film, then a transparent holographic finish is added on top.

👉 Result: no silver effect, your colors remain perfectly intact.

Advantages:

• Colors 100% true to the design

• Holographic reflections only in the light

• Cheaper than holographic printing

• Perfect if you want holo without changing your colors

Limitations:

• More subtle effect

• Less “visual impact” than a holographic film

Who is it for?

For those who want a clean, readable, colorful decal kit, with a touch of whimsy in the reflections.

🔥 3. Chrome — mirror effect and instant depth

Chrome is the king of premium finishes.
It’s a print on chrome film, giving a realistic, metallic mirror effect with strong reflections.

Advantages:

• Ultra premium finish

• Unique mirror effect

• Perfect for metallic touches, accents, borders
  

Limitations:

• More “luxurious” style, less colorful

• May be too shiny for some designs

Who is it for?

For road bikes, clean supermotos, elegant designs, or those who want a “pro” and premium effect.

🔥 4. The Holographic Fracture — the futuristic cracked effect

A still rare but spectacular finish.
The lamination has a cracked pattern, which changes the light like a prism.

Advantages:

• Effect never seen before

• Modern, almost futuristic style

• Perfect for aggressive designs

• Combines very well with chrome or matte

Limitations:

• Very strong effect → doesn’t suit all styles

Who is it for?

For those who want a unique bike, destruction / street / futuristic / glitch effect.

🔥 5. The Glitters (Gold, Silver, Red, Holo)

Glitter finishes add a luminous grain directly into the material.

Effect:

• Colors remain normal

• But thousands of micro-glitters reflect the light

Advantages:

• Very visible in sunlight

• Adds dynamism to the design

• Perfect for stunt, supermoto, or flashy styles

Limitations:

• Not suitable if you prefer sober styles

Who is it for?

For those who want a street, fun, colorful, and bright look.
