Vinyl Wrap 3M Brushed Steel, Motorcycle Petrol Tank

AMC Merchandise available NOW at shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/andyma...
-----------------------------------------------
We're back in the Kitchen in this episode of AndyManCam's garage as I try wrapping my new(ish) petrol tank in 3M Black Brushed Steel vinyl. The Carbon fibre wrap was a bit too much and so I took it all off and started again with what will hopefully be a more stylish and subtle look for the Yamaha FZ1N.

Out of all the videos I have seen on wrapping bike parts. YOURS IS PERFECT. THANK YOU I learned alot. 👊 🏍

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks AA. Happy you got something out of it 👍🏻

[@harrypalmer7169]

Halfway through I was thinking it is not worth the faffing around, by the end I was thinking wow it looks fantastic. Great job AMC.

[@AndyManCam]

Haha! How the sight of lovely smooth brushed steel can sway you eh?! :D Cheers Harry!

[@Fudders]

I came here for the (excellent) vinyl-wrap "tutorial" and stayed for the soothing plinky-plonky music ...thanks Andy and great job!

[@AndyManCam]

Haha! Everones a winner here mate! Cheers for coming at all!!

[@BIG-K]

Yes, I like that. Nice job, Andy. It sets off the bike very neatly and tastefully. 👍

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Keith. That’s exactly what i was aiming for. A bit of a subtle highlight rather than the obviously fake carbon stuff!

[@k3yman632]

So Impressive. The finish and the execution. I got cold sweats watching it let alone doing it. Gonna wrap my tank panels on XSR900 after watching this. It’s going to be easier prospect than this but no doubt tense. Thank you for a brilliant video.

[@AndyManCam]

Haha! Thanks very much and good luck with yours!

[@bremerd_de]

I was going through the same pain with my tank. After wasting 2 complete sheets, I asked a friend to help me out. We heated up the tank and the vinyl and streched it over the tank holding the vinyl from two sides. That worked out very well, although the detailing still took quite some time

[@bremerd_de]

The brushed design looks really great - I#m thinking of starting all over using that stuff.

[@AndyManCam]

Totally agree. The effect is well worth the faff! I’ve seen a few videos of folks enlisting a friend or two and doing the heated sheet-stretch method and I definitely think thats the best way to get a good start.

[@Jaffa1951]

Good job Andy. Looks fantastic. Also, an excellent job of editing out all the effing and blinding that, I'm sure, accompanied the work on this.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Geoff. There was certainly a little bit more effing and jeffing than shown here! But then, this is a family show! 😜

[@Roycutsnfishes]

Looks great man ! You made it look fairly simple but great job 👍🏼

[@smokeybarr]

Well, that turned out pretty darn good! Loving the buzz-cut too. "Air bubbleage"

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Smokey! Sadly the buzz cut was less of a styling upgrade and more of an aging necessity!

[@victorbf124]

Incredible idea and information. Youve got my scared and excited.

[@tomcr1125]

good preparation and patience pay off. Top work, Andy. 👍👌🖐

[@AndyManCam]

Danke! A job worth doing, is a job worth doing well!

[@TFA-01]

That's a bloody good job that bud. And the choice of colour and pinstripe is really cool. Well done. I know what vid I'll be following when I do mine!!

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Tyrone. Not often that a change like this pleases so many! The carbon stuff was far more galvanising!

[@studiomodoki]

Amazing just how much info you can gleam from 1 video, thank you, this gave more answers than I had questions...

[@mrvwbug4423]

Love how that came out. If it were me, I would probably have made the pinstripe a second color like red or blue and much thinner.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks! It looks OK doesn’t it! I would have probably done the same, if I had any other colours on the bike to match up with.

[@jonb1908]

This is awesome work. Given me the confidence to have a go myself. Let’s see how it turns out

[@AndyManCam]

You can do it! Good luck!

[@GTMarmot]

You made it look easy. Think I might give it a go! Thanks

[@twmbarlwmstar]

Just found you site, looks great, all good fo me. I will catch up on the rest of the videos.

[@eddyray666]

That looks incredible. Well done.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much E R.

[@jhunathynellis1078]

great job, I really like the look for the finished work. so much so, I may try something similar.

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers mate! Good luck with yours.

[@edrose122]

That looks sooo good

[@569harm]

Wow... Looks great, top job there my man.

[@AndyManCam]

Many thanks! Yeah I'm finally pleased with the overall look of the bike. Well, almost...

[@BiglumpADV]

Andy great work mate, looks fantastic 👌🏻

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Tack! Brushed stuff always looks good! 😎

[@GR8WHITEC5]

That looks awesome!! Very well done!!

[@AndyManCam]

Many thanks 🙏🏻

[@turnyourpainintogreatness8314]

Great job on your tank wrap Version 2! Suggestion for you pinstripes? Try Matt Black instead, and reduce the thickness down to 3mm. Reckon that'll look sharp, finishing off the brushed steel additions nicely. Looks much better than the carbon 👍

[@wimd1145]

Agreed, you could also use red stripes. Makes you go faster. :-)

[@AndyManCam]

I totally agree chaps. Matt stripes would certainly fit the style a lot better. Thinner would be more subtle. Not sure about the coloiur though. I have no other real colour accents to match up with. It's a monochrome moto!

[@blackberrybadness]

Absolutely brilliant!!!

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much R!

[@ct026]

Nice work mate. 👍🏻👊🏻

[@MsDenver2]

Very good, you did a good job, looks fab👍🏍😎

[@AndyManCam]

Thank you Donna! Just showed that sometimes it’s worth having a go at it!

[@6ynessxD]

You made it look waaaay to easy! Top job 👍

[@AndyManCam]

I'm very glad that that is how it seemed! In reality I was WAY beyond my comfort zone!! :D

[@CalmBiker]

You definitely have the knack for wrapping. You make it look so easy that I fancy getting some and making a complete cock-up! A very nice job that. I do like the brushed effect.

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers mate. Give it a try, but be prepared to take a LONG and frustrating time!!

[@aeror115]

Well done! Looks great 👍

You’re very handy, Andy. Looks quite classy all back together. 👍🏍🇦🇺

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Russell! I agree, it looks a lot more grown up with the steel instead of the over-carbon look!

[@lubosbrazina8933]

Perfect job bro

[@AndyManCam]

Thank you very much!

[@decab8292]

Looking sharp mate, I like it a lot.

It has been said that I was blessed in the patience department. Odd because I constantly feel frustrated and impatient!! 😂

[@sketchness8400]

That looks mint

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers muchly mate!

[@tdmtam]

Looks good 👍🏻 I was thinking of using the same dark brush metal vinyl for the lid o my silver top box so it looked better with my satin black Tiger Sport. ( I could used the remainder to cover the wing mirrors on my car to cover some scratches)

[@AndyManCam]

Sounds like a good plan! I love it because its not matt, but its not gloss! Perfect middle ground!

[@jeetghosh3735]

Looked good with the pin strips

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Jeet.

[@paulstix1]

Thanks for a great video . Looking at doing something similar/ on Bmw Rt panniers . First timer so all these tips are very helpful.

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure! I hope you have a successful wrapping! Just plan in as much time as possible, because it'll be lots of two steps forward, 6 steps back, 3 forward, 4 back, 1 forward....

[@highlandriders9696]

Very smart mate

Thanks very much HRM!

Great job! Maybe add a video on how to get the tank off.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Was wondering what you did with the tank having seen that you removed the carbon, what cool looking vinyl, like that very much!!

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers mate. Yeah it’s surprisingly effective stuff! Sadly not nearly as hardwearing as the real stuff though!! 😂

[@dazjoy4074]

Looks great Andy, thinking of doing something similar to my 1200r , like the hair cut and beard combo too mate , it’s a good look that :) enjoying all your videos, and your bikes looking great too, I like the new slip on , got a carbon fibre on mine too and love it

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Daz! Give it a go mate, nothing but a few pennies and a little time to lose. Although I had a full head of hair when I started this nonsense!! 😂

[@dazjoy4074]

Think I will Andy , you make it look very easy and I’m certain it is very tricky, but it’s trial and error I guess, it’s just deciding what colour as I have a white tank and black frame so not so sure, maybe a bit of carbon to go with the pipe or gloss black panels 🤔 the haircut soots you sir, I’ve got a teapotone look and love it, I’d look like a potato without a beard , don’t know why mine fell out, maybe from being indecisive about tank colours and rubbing my head to much 😅

[@AndyManCam]

Hahaha! I think that ironically it might have been the stress of vinyl wrapping that caused mine to fall out!! Definitely trial and error though mate. You'll either get a feel for it, or you wont. Just expect the first few attempts to go slightly sideways and then if they don't, you're winning!

[@carl6551]

I had a mt09 sportracker with a brushed metal tank....yours looks as good as the real thing,don’t think I’d have the patience’s to do it though because I get air bubbles and dust bits every time I put screen protectors on my devices.

[@AndyManCam]

Wow, thanks mate. That is good to know! Maybe the next step would be to cover the whole tank. We‘ll see.

[@leebeddoes1064]

Really good job mate, i much prefer it to the carbon wrap. Intrigued to find out what's next for the fz1

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks a lot Lee. I reckon that I’ll have to do something with the rear end next. Maybe even finally get a rear cowl and turn it into a single seater with no rear footpegs!!

[@leebeddoes1064]

@@AndyManCam I kind of like the way the rear pegs just hang there. I had mine powder coated black but they would look a bit daft if you turned it into a single seater.

[@AndyManCam]

I’ve taken the plunge and gotten rid of them. Really cleans the rear end up. Also saved about a kilo in weight!

[@brno221973]

Nice job andy but if it were me doing that the tank would have been kicked around the kitchen several times, you have the patience of a saint.👍

[@AndyManCam]

Ha! Cheers mate! Yeah its not a job for everyone! ‚Luckily‘ i get crazy level tunnel vision once I’ve started something, and it MUST be finished!

[@brno221973]

Andy Man Cam I’m the opposite, I just go crazy & bin it.😁👍

[@AndyManCam]

Oh there was also a bit of that too! I just tried a wrap on my seat cowl and ended up binning both the vinyl AND the video! Complete disaster!!

[@brno221973]

Andy Man Cam Fuck up video’s are the best, well it would give us all a good laugh.🤭😁

[@AndyManCam]

Yeah, i know! Problem is that I had such a temper tantrum, I formatted the card amid a flurry of F words!!

[@markmundy3435]

Looks very nice AMC, your getting very good at this game. (Little advise, use the knifeless tape on ALL cuts, even if it can't be seen. With a blade you can cut through the paint and undercoat, which can in time let water get to the metal resulting in rust).

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Mark. You'Re absolutely right. Bit of laziness on my part there. Luckily my bike is always indoors and thankfully doesn't get wet unless I get caught out!! But still...

[@markmundy3435]

haha, I've seen all your vids. You Sir are a rain magnet!

[@maldridge7630]

Great tutorial! In my experience what we need more than anything is a 3rd hand to hold the heat gun. This hand, however, has to be attach to the same nervous system as the other 2 hands 🧐

[@seangreenberg7297]

after living with these vinyl jobs would you recommend doing a clear vinyl over it for protection?

[@AndyManCam]

This brushed metal effect is actually quite susceptible to scratches, sadly. So perhaps that wouldn't be such a bad idea. A whole new level of faff though!

[@vegasdetroiter1]

Did you apply the black pinstriping 1/2 way onto of the brushed metal vinyl and 1/2 way on the paint?

[@AndyManCam]

Yeah i think so.

[@savvaspapadopoulos3627]

very nice work and beautiful colors. To ask if there is a lighter combination?
