Yep. Black tank on that bike would look sharp.

Perhaps to some... but that is coming back along with 3/4 helmets with similar paint.

Don't do it.

My first helmet was a large flake glitter bell 3/4 with a yellow snap front shield... that was 1970-something. Some things are best left as vintage on a shelf.

I think your idea of blacking that entire bike out is awesome. Though, I think those holes should be a bit smaller if you're going to leave it as raw metal underneath.

Since it's your wife's bike - what does she think?

Does she even know what wrap is? Knowing women, she probably thinks it will look like a dish rag.

IMO customizing your wife's bike is a no-win scenario. Make her do it, that way she has no one to blame but herself.

Shes a woman, her opinion is not important for 2 reasons:

1. It will change every 5 minutes
2. She's a woman, nobody cares about her opinion
I haven't even gotten thru the other posts on this thread yet, but until you meet the minimum height requirements, I will continue to give you your opinion.
