Major Problem with Our Monster Brushed Steel Tank

[@JaretCampisi]

I really hope we can clean all this sticky BS off when the paint dry's otherwise its back to square one...I know it will look amazing when its done but man this tank has been a pain in my ass.

[@cericj99]

Acid etched lettering is maybe an option... maybe stain the letters after after then clear.

[@greentealhatch]

Hey man, I am in Carlisle with Ivy & Willow Co., and I can either do your Vinyl stencil or I have a different stencil style that would mitigate the residue and produce the same result if you cannot get the residue off. message me and I can get you guys hooked up.

[@andybussa1323]

It's the solvent in the aerosol making the glue stay on the tank once you peel off,If I were you I would stay clear of rattle cans,mix up some water base paint and clean glue off with degreaser,not thinner or anything like that,hope this helps 👍

[@andybussa1323]

Or better yet,use decals and clearcoat over the top using matting paste in the clear coat ,jobs a good un 👍

[@DK-pr9ny]

Looks like a hack job tbh. Have it done right or it will just flake off in no time.

[@navinbabji]

I say, just go to a metal engraver and have him engrave the "Ducati" logo onto the bare tank, and then pinstripe the letters with black paint...couldn't be more custom than that...i wonder how that would look... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@davehudson3439]

I like it! Engraving...if you dont want stickers

[@Wakeboarder11]

Even somebody that's able to laser etch it, that would be sick

[@Maree_Customs]

I was thinking the same thing, but etching/lasering instead of engraving. But engraving in and of itself would be fucking DOPE

[@nasasimo]

You almost need to put a coat of clear coat down and then the black so that black can stick to something. Also I use this stuff for stencils. Avery Dennison Blue Signmask is a 80 micron flexible vinyl film with ultra removable acrylic adhesive. High transparency for precise positioning. Designed to give a sharp edge finish to painted graphics. It is a film product designed for use in large signage applications on flat, curved or irregular surfaces. Features: • Excellent conformability to irregular surfaces • Excellent solvent resistance • High transparency for precise positioning • Clean and easy removability from most substrates • Good adhesion to a wide range of substrates Suitable Applications: • Cars and vans • Emergency vehicles • Buses, trains and light rail • PVC banners • Illuminated signage

[@post-punkrider]

Instead of stencils use decals since you clear coating anyways, i did that with the same style Ducati logo on my Scrambler and looks great.

[@benjamingalli21]

I thought that too but doesn't the surface feel raised where the decal is regardless of the clear over the top?

[@andybussa1323]

@@benjamingalli21 if you give it 2 coats of clear then flowcoat with clearcoat that will eliminate the raised area where the decals are 👍

[@benjamingalli21]

Sounds like the obvious choice then. Thanks for replying

[@muzaffarikhwan2316]

@@benjamingalli21 I honestly prefer the embossing feel as long as it's under the clear coat. But that's just my preference I guess

[@myldwinpierre3962]

No. That is the cheap way out. Especially if you are a custom builder and you are a perfectionist. That simply just won't do.

[@scottkilford9985]

Hi,can I make a suggestion,you may need to 2 k clear coat it first ,before adding your paint mask decal,then re-clear coat,the stick glue could be sticking to the sanded surface.

[@jayn8392]

A buddy of mine put this new kind of clear bra material on his light and it worked really well. It's way thinner than the old stuff used to be and you can't even see the seem unless you really get close and try to find it. Best part is it was basically free because the guy who did it just used a bit of an off cut from a car he had done. You should learn to do some of this stuff yourself man. It's pretty easy and you save a bunch of money. Been building my own bikes for years now, it's actually a lot of fun.... most of the time.

[@chucktowntech]

This is why manufacturers use decals and clear over them. I used the decal method on my Diavel and have no regrets.

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah that's def an option but I do prefer paint if possible

[@chucktowntech]

@@JaretCampisi may the odds be in sausage fingers favor

[@myldwinpierre3962]

Jaret, You might want to put on a layer of intercoat clear first before spraying on the letters. The raw steel will resist the paint because it is not allowing it to chemically bind. That is the reason that the paint is lifting when removing the stencil. So, spray on the intercoat clear, let it dry for about an hour or two, scuff it with a red scotch bright pad, clean off all the dust and wipe it down with degreaser, apply your stencil and spray your letters. You should have a perfect result then. Also, thin coats of pain. Ideally, use an airbrush to apply the paint.

[@naderhammouqah9086]

before applaying the vinyl but it on a piece of clothes and remove it.. it will make the vinyl less aggressive but still sticks well to the tank.. after finishig if u still have some left on the tank just use an already used masking tape and apply it gently over it and peal it.. it will collect whats left easy...

[@odedbarsheshet7330]

Jaret, dont get frustrated you and Dado doing amazing job and its not your fault. If people give bad comments, they got the issue. Love your videos !!!

[@TreadTalk247]

Etching the raw tank w the “DUC” letters would be cool too, I did some deep etching on our 1927 Buick fuel gauge and it came out awesome! Very very easy to do as a DIY! Might be a good detail to do when you do the next build!

[@karlbuckley8346]

So glad you went with the retro Ducati logo on the tank. You could always get decals and clear over them instead of stencils and paint.

[@donjulian809]

Don’t stress it Jaret,….everyone has problems!! You and Dado will figure it out, you all always do!! Keep doing what you love, we love watching you and Teens do everything!!!! I would love to see. A whiskey and bourbon taste testing; you all have the money to try them out and let your fans know which one’s are best!! I love watching your channel,…..keep it up!! Don J

[@marksmallman4572]

Cut grafix could have made those decals for you, no paint, no mess, did my Ducati eight years ago, still perfect.

[@JaretCampisi]

We want our decals painted on...I'm well aware its much easier to do stickers but I'm not a huge fan of stickers on bikes if they could have been painted :)

[@999Rabs]

I feel your pain when shit just always seems to go wrong. There are times when it’s like the world is out to get you lol! Here’s a classic. Ordered a new barbell for my new home gym setup last week. First issue was it was delivered late. When arrived the delivery dude was gone before I got to the door (all deliveries have to be contactless due to Covid restrictions here in NZ). I saw that the heavy duty tube the barbell was packaged in was ripped open at one end as it had got wet. They’d left it outside for a couple of days in the rain!! Clowns!! Then old mate truck driver must have picked it up, and being a 20kg barbell, it’s punched out the end and hit the ground. So the machined edge of the sleeve now looks like shit due to gouges and nicks in the metal! I’m like FML!! Props to the retailer tho, they offered me a partial refund and a store discount so there was some light at the end of the tunnel!

[@GareyCooperdude]

Love the old school Ducati logo. Classic “modern” from 1950’s Italy. Question 1 should the inside of the tank be coated? Question 2 I’d run the bike for a while after reassembly and then remove and replace the fuel filter…… Hey, but totally trusting Dado on those thoughts.

[@ChaosEnigma1978]

Laser etched letters would look pretty sweet against brushed metal

[@daytrading5456]

It's Campisi Customs!!!! You got this, damnit!!

[@willadams9001]

The lettering on my custom paintwork is the vinyl sticker - looks great under the clear 👌🏼

[@marcosjulianperezlopez5531]

Thats how it should be done

[@JaretCampisi]

I think that's def a great option but I prefer to do paint if possible

[@marcosjulianperezlopez5531]

@@JaretCampisi i think theres a special vinyl that is easy to take off and leaves no residue the only parts that have that sticky material are the letters

[@casual9982]

Man having it lazer etched might be the answer, and that's as custom as anyone could want!

[@daytrading5456]

Definitely custom. I think the big issue is how the silver will look against the rest of the bike. It kind of overwhelms everyhing else. Not a big fan of silver as the focal point of the bike... which the tank absolutely is.

[@martinfpss]

A true low tack stencil, will literally use low tack masking tape (3M etc) as the backing, not a regular sticker backing. There is no way what you've been sold is even close to being lock tack, its not even a stencil, just a sticker that's got the Ducati logo cut as the shadow of the lettering. Low tack will leave no residue whatsoever.

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah that's exactly what Dado said too...

[@martinfpss]

@@JaretCampisi Just saw the new video. Killer job guys, they didn't make it easy for you with those stickers. But even better when you overcome the hurdles and get such a great result

[@chrisduc1]

Hi Jaret, I always did. first step ,putting clear coat - to be safe - after sanding the clear keep going with airbrush or stickers or what ever and then again clear.- Like this you would not have your problems ☝️🥴

[@Beeker0420]

Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back LOL. Sorry for the issues but thanks for taking us along for the journey! Stencils look cool as hell though!

[@gamekeeper687]

The best thing to take off the glue residue is petrol onto a rag, brake cleaner isn’t always enough, but good luck trying to do it and not take the paint off.

[@seratatu]

Just do it in vinyl and clear coat on top of all and ready to go 👍✌️

[@oliverpernillo9834]

Dado is the McGyver of motorcycles 🤘🏻

[@madchesteruk]

The petrol tank reminds me of a Norton.

[@charleswayland4416]

I’m a professional painter and I would have put a base of clear first or use a thin coat of etching primer on before painting for good adhesion on the bare steel that’s a couple of ideas hope that will help.

[@ivandellacha7500]

Why you dont just apply a vinyl with the lettering an clear coat it on top?

[@JaretCampisi]

I prefer to do paint over stickers if possible

[@billybean7488]

Ive got a Hypermotard 950 RVE (as well as the 1290 SDR3) and the Hyper RVE has decals and clear coated from factory, not sure how they have done it but its not raised?

[@isaacbashaw6836]

Keep up the good work guys! Gonna turn out awesome

[@brianglendenning1632]

This is a thought bubble, but I see a few old Kombis that are customised with “the look” being rust. Could you get the Ducati logo to be discreet rust finish, stabilise then clear coat?

[@luddite6239]

Frustrating! 😬 I had the Termignoni logos laser engraved onto the stainless steel sleeves of my Monster 1100 Evo exhausts and they look superb. Laser engraving actually removes a small amount of metal so might not be the look you're after for the tank. There is also laser etching, which is more like a tattoo and leaves the surface smooth, and that might be a better option. Have a look at the logos on some Termi titanium cans - they're laser etched.

[@andreberger6799]

Laser braving is the solution!

[@GeorgeSandulescu.]

Should have that glue only on the extremities , not the whole thing, is very difficult to clean all that glue without damaging the letters.

Damn that sucks. They looks sooo damn good too.. is there any way to do a thin decal beneath the clear?? That's what I'd try.. good luck brother. Looking forward to the next one

[@marcjorgensen]

The stencil is not going to work on the bare metal, vinyl with clear over it is your best option like OEM

[@stevemathers2038]

That beautiful tank deserves more than those decals anyway. I've been following this build closely (like everyone else!) and the whole motorcycle is so trick why not consider custom painted Emblems under the clear coat?

Bummer with the residue.. Curious to see if it comes off when the paint is cured, but worst case you can leave the tank without the stencil, which looks pretty badass as well, or have dado weld some metal stencil on 😂

Hate to say it but the metal has way to many fine scratches. Really needs to be gone over with scotch brite pads to soften it up. I’ve done this work before, it can be so much better than how you are leaving it. Not even mentioning the stencils
