@@TonyLoewen I’ve rewrapped a fender about 8 times,still comes back up on me, about to redo it again soon. Funny thing Is I think my tank and rear fender/fairing will be much easier. My fender is a nightmare.

[@jeffreyfelder7981]

I was thinking of wrapping my Harley.... after watching this .. ill stick to painting it... lol

[@hollowed_knight4260]

This is the same exact tank i have and plan on wrapping so this is a great vid for me

[@user-fl4uc2fk1e]

This reminded me of the first time i wrapped my tank.Since then have been to classes. Tank needs to be attached and pull vinyl with aerodynamics of tank. Falls in category of hard to wrap. I was told if you can wrap a car mirror, you can wrap anything. Gas tank is similar in shape

[@Grizly_Atoms]

for not having that tank mounted, you did Allright bro. I've watched a ton of these to learn how to do it on cars, but this was only my second bike tank vid, so kudos.

[@TonyLoewen]

Thanks, yeah it would have been so much better if it was mounted haha

[@londonstickerz7927]

impressive. I genuinely thought that was way too much excess at the front of the tank. Well done, not bad for a first try! looks great

[@TonyLoewen]

Thank you

[@dragonmodel9262]

hey thank you this gave me a good idea too,well just to do mine like that. So much easier.

[@zacksrandomprojects9698]

Thats a big difference. Judging by how it turned out, I imagine you can get away with minimal body work and the vinyl will hide small imperfections and look really good. Thanks for the video

[@TonyLoewen]

Thanks for checking out the video. I’d suggest taking care of most deep scratches before wrapping as the may show throw.

[@Chilllybob]

You did an awesome job regardless It came out really good in my opinion you gave me ideas I want to wrap my bike. So what is the best film to use in your experience

Exactly correct.

[@dainepetrou8011]

[@dainepetrou8011]

@@waltswild lol... What's so funny lol... Do you think I'm an idiot... Let me enlighten your narrow mind sir. I've used clear vinyl to protect a brand new generation 3 Suzuki Hayabusa petrol tank from scratches n chips rather than changing its colour as you have just automatically assumed I was doing.... Let me enlighten you again. Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups. So before being smart and writing an assumption, probably best to have a kind chat and know what your chatting about with the other party involved before leaving lol hahaha funny funny remarks, like you know what I'm talking about....

[@handyjayes1]

You did really well on this. You must have been a little angry when the hole appeared. If that happens again and it's on a tank that does not need to be 'showroom' then you could patch the hole with a nice decal maybe to save starting over

[@TonyLoewen]

Yeah lucky I was just doing this for fun to try it out. I will be doing another one for a customer soon and I’ll make sure to film that one and show how it goes.

[@handyjayes1]

@@TonyLoewen sounds good. I'll look out for it. Last week I asked a local company how much to wrap a petrol tank (hopefully getting an RE meteor fireball in the next month - wanted an all matt black one but the matt black one comes with a chrome exhaust where as the fireball version (yellow tank) has a matt black exhaust.)). He estimated £100 Inc. material but wanted to see the tank before he could tell me whether it would need a seam or not. Look forward to your next one 👍

[@ostbob4108]

Is there a way to keep the dirt from accumulating along the films edge?????????

[@Gun-tf8pc]

Very good !!!😁🙏

[@JEFFQUICKLE9]

Is there any vinyl film that can be installed on motorcycle exhaust pipes? The spray paint they sell that is supposedly BLACK is gray when it dries.....I painted my bike gloss black and white like the No Limits Gallardo V-Rod bike from Germany and the pipes are gray and UGLY! Thanks for any suggestions or responses!

[@jimkaleta9815]

Can you put two layers of vinyl on to hide some smaller scratches and such?

[@TonyLoewen]

Normally you don’t use vinyl to hide scratches, it depends on how deep the scratches are it may hide some but not all.

Great video but I have one question.., Since it's not an option to paint my motorcycle, due to lack of cash, after I apply the vinyl wrap, what kind of protective layer should I put over it? I'm asking because I've heard a lot of complaints about the wrap chipping too easily. Thanks...

Find a 8H or higher Ceramic vinyl coating bottle on amazon, ~20 - 40$

[@abruptlyblunt]

won't leaving your bike out in the heat of the summer sun cause the wrap to shrink and split?

[@TonyLoewen]

No, if you do the proper post heat I kills the old memory of the vinyl and creates new memory of the shape it’s in after being wrapped

[@mr.satwik0718]

[@p.s8950]

Can this wrap be over stretched ?

[@TonyLoewen]

Yes for sure can be. All wrap film have a % that it can be stretched and after that point you risk damaging the adhesive

[@user-lw9lo8wo4r]

If you do this in Indonesia, then I'm sure your business will close in the not too distant future. Sand the damaged paint surface first, to install the film, try not to pull it too much, just heat it evenly and trim it according to the nature and texture of the material, don't force it or fight it. If you already have film material that is of fairly good quality, you should be able to maximize your installation. This is very different from those in Indonesia, we only have a few brands of film material that are of poor quality.

[@perryhart3172]

Rattle can denim black for me.

[@dacat8171]

That does take time. Why don't ppl simply paint those parts. The surface needs to be prepared anyway, which takes the most of the time. The paint job is quick. Only the drying will take time.

That’s why you need to properly prep the surface. Should have used a few spots of filler and use that sanding primer to make sure it’s good when you sand it down.
