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. 👊 🏍
Thanks AA. Happy you got something out of it 👍🏻
I came here for the (excellent) vinyl-wrap "tutorial" and stayed for the soothing plinky-plonky music ...thanks Andy and great job!
Haha! Everones a winner here mate! Cheers for coming at all!!
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.
Haha! How the sight of lovely smooth brushed steel can sway you eh?! :D Cheers Harry!
Great job! Maybe add a video on how to get the tank off.
That poetically would have been a good idea. Sadly the bike is now in the careful hands of a new owner.
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.
Haha! Thanks very much and good luck with yours!
Yes, I like that. Nice job, Andy. It sets off the bike very neatly and tastefully. 👍
Cheers Keith. That’s exactly what i was aiming for. A bit of a subtle highlight rather than the obviously fake carbon stuff!
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.
Thanks Geoff. There was certainly a little bit more effing and jeffing than shown here! But then, this is a family show! 😜
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!!
Cheers Tyrone. Not often that a change like this pleases so many! The carbon stuff was far more galvanising!
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
The brushed design looks really great - I#m thinking of starting all over using that stuff.
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.
Very good, you did a good job, looks fab👍🏍😎
Thank you Donna! Just showed that sometimes it’s worth having a go at it!
Amazing just how much info you can gleam from 1 video, thank you, this gave more answers than I had questions...
Incredible idea and information. Youve got my scared and excited.
Well, that turned out pretty darn good! Loving the buzz-cut too.
"Air bubbleage"
Cheers Smokey! Sadly the buzz cut was less of a styling upgrade and more of an aging necessity!
You’re very handy, Andy. Looks quite classy all back together. 👍🏍🇦🇺
Cheers Russell! I agree, it looks a lot more grown up with the steel instead of the over-carbon look!
Looks great man ! You made it look fairly simple but great job 👍🏼
You had me at “moist crevices”
Nice job mate!
The moist crevices are always getting me into trouble!!
good preparation and patience pay off. Top work, Andy. 👍👌🖐
Danke! A job worth doing, is a job worth doing well!
looks bloody good that dude
Many thanks Elvis!
You made it look easy. Think I might give it a go! Thanks
This is awesome work. Given me the confidence to have a go myself. Let’s see how it turns out
You can do it! Good luck!
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 👍
Agreed, you could also use red stripes. Makes you go faster. :-)
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!
Great job!
Thanks very much Pete!
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.
Cheers mate. Give it a try, but be prepared to take a LONG and frustrating time!!
great job, I really like the look for the finished work. so much so, I may try something similar.
Cheers mate! Good luck with yours.
That looks incredible. Well done.
Thanks very much E R.
Looks amazing and you have more patience in your left pinkie than I do on my entire body! Really top job fella
Haha! I wouldn’t say I have THAT much! Cheers mate. I’m happy with it. For now...
That looks awesome!! Very well done!!
Many thanks 🙏🏻
Nice work mate. 👍🏻👊🏻
That looks sooo good
Wow... Looks great, top job there my man.
Many thanks! Yeah I'm finally pleased with the overall look of the bike. Well, almost...
Very nice looking 😃👌
Thanks very much!
That’s got a classy, bullet proof look about it, very cool! A tank worthy to be seen in a John Wick movie😁Fantastic skills there Andy!
Thanks Eric. Not a bad movie to get your bike in to! ;D
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.
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.
Absolutely brilliant!!!
Thanks very much R!
Andy great work mate, looks fantastic 👌🏻
Cheers Tack! Brushed stuff always looks good! 😎
Cracking job 👍
Many thanks Colette.
Awesome 😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
You made it look waaaay to easy! Top job 👍
I'm very glad that that is how it seemed! In reality I was WAY beyond my comfort zone!! :D
Looks fantastic, thanks for sharing mate. Excellent video 🏍🇦🇺👍🏻
Thank you NB! 👊🏻
Very nice 👍🏻 You’ve got far more patience than I
It has been said that I was blessed in the patience department. Odd because I constantly feel frustrated and impatient!! 😂
Just found you site, looks great, all good fo me. I will catch up on the rest of the videos.
Perfect job bro
Thank you very much!
You sir, have the patience of a saint.👍
Or the editing skills of a PR genius! 😜
looks good , I admire your patience :)
Thank you very mich Stuart!
Looking sharp mate, I like it a lot.
Cheers Deca. I think I’ll keep it like this for a while!
Looks very good
Thanks very much EH.
Hey I watch these TH-cam videos all the time on all different kinds of things just wanted to tell you I thought you did a really good job
Thanks very much indeed DD!
it is much better than the first wrap. GJ!
Many thanks Ralph.
That came out killer! 🤙🏻
Cheers David! 👍🏻👍🏻
perfect job
Many thanks JP.
Beautiful
Well done!
Looks great 👍
Thanks very much AeroR!
Now this is epic
Many thanks mate! It was a very satisfying finish!
Very smart mate
Thanks very much HRM!
That looks mint
Cheers muchly mate!
Thanks for a great video . Looking at doing something similar/ on Bmw Rt panniers . First timer so all these tips are very helpful.
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....
That looks sleek mate. Well done
Cheers very much mate!
Looked good with the pin strips
Cheers Jeet.
Top job mate,i love it 👊🏼
Thanks very much MG. 👊🏻
Impressive!
Thanks very much Lucas.
That looks amazing Andy, you are becoming quite the pro at this wrapping malarkey! :-)
Cheers mate! I wouldn't go that far though! i think I made treble the cock ups in this one than the others!
@@AndyManCam its the final result that matters, not how you got there! :-)
Definitely an improvement 👍
Thanks Miteor. I totally agree. Bit more unique and subtle now.
Dude so much better locking then the carbon vinyl! Nice job und wunderbar 👌
Cheers very much! I prefer it too! REAL carbon for the win!
good job!
Thanks very much Rok!
Lovely job👍
Cheers very much matey!
For a selfmade job i think i turned out pretty great! :)
Many thanks JayWee!
nice job!
Thanks you very much Giuseppe.
Love it.
Thanks Gavin, me too!!
Good job
Thanks Puzz!
Top job Andy :)
Thanks very much ZZ!
A thumbs up mainly for your patience
Haha! Thanks Jay! Knowing that I have an audience helps to keep the temper in check!
jeez, top job!
Thank you kindly Renegade!
Much better than the carbon effect, good job !!!
Thanks Marcin! I think so too! 😍
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)
Sounds like a good plan! I love it because its not matt, but its not gloss! Perfect middle ground!
You getting really good at this... Andy man wrap shop coming up... :))
Cheers! I actually thought about that for a few minutes. Then I cocked it all up and forgot about the idea altogether!! :D
@@AndyManCam 🤣🤣
good job
Thanks very much!
Perfect.thank you
Thanks very much!
Poor man's heat gun😂😂😂 keep rocking brother 🤘🤘🤘
If it works! :D
Brushed steel sounds so manly... great job :-)
Could be a good band name? Cheers!
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.👍
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!
Andy Man Cam
I’m the opposite, I just go crazy & bin it.😁👍
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!!
Andy Man Cam
Fuck up video’s are the best, well it would give us all a good laugh.🤭😁
Yeah, i know! Problem is that I had such a temper tantrum, I formatted the card amid a flurry of F words!!
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).
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...
haha, I've seen all your vids. You Sir are a rain magnet!
Well done mate👌 you’ve produced a really great eye catching finish!! 👌 You’ll be taking orders I assume? 🤣🤣🤣 Great channel thanks for putting the vid up! 👍👍
Many thanks Pete! I wondered if perhaps i could make this a bit of a side hustle. But I don't think my blood pressure could take it! Once or twice a season is plenty!!
very nice
Many thanks Antoine.
Nice job Andy looks much better than the carbon rap 👍😊
Cheers Gaz. I totally agree. At the very least, you don't see as many bikes with this finish as with carbon wraps.
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
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!! 😂
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 😅
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!
Sweet...
I constantly hear and read, that the VINYL WRAP protects and saves the vehicle's paint job.
How can it adhere well enough to the paint beneath (adhesives) without causing damage? Particularly when parked under the sun's intense rays and heat?
Just leaving BLUE MASKING TAPE on my RUSTOLEUM CAN PAINT JOB for about 3 weeks was sufficient to cause damage to it's once glossy smooth surface.
The longer you leave it on, the harder it is to get off. But the products usually have a max time recommended before it should be removed. I’ve never had any issues and the paint always looks like new underneath. Modern adhesives are simply magic!
@@AndyManCam Thanks, I assume your experience is with a FACTORY APPLIED paint job? Where the VINYL WRAP leaves no marks.
@kevinbell1138 correct. I guess all bets are off with aftermarket. Although the paint was fine on my Honda CB1000R and that was the softest, cheesiest paint I’ve ever seen.
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 🧐
You'Re so very , very right!! YOu can involve the Mrs, but only if you like fights and potential divorce!
@@AndyManCam lmfaoooo
Really good job mate, i much prefer it to the carbon wrap. Intrigued to find out what's next for the fz1
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!!
@@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.
I’ve taken the plunge and gotten rid of them. Really cleans the rear end up. Also saved about a kilo in weight!
Wow the 3M knife tape is much better than the other brand you used previously..
Considerably! The biggest difference was how much more flexible the tape is. So much more control!
Was wondering what you did with the tank having seen that you removed the carbon, what cool looking vinyl, like that very much!!
Cheers mate. Yeah it’s surprisingly effective stuff! Sadly not nearly as hardwearing as the real stuff though!! 😂
i would get a hizzy fit 2 min into a thing like this, well done
Haha! What makes you think that I didn’t!!??! The power of video editing!! 😆
Great job Andy , might do mine instead of spraying it cheers shane uk 🇬🇧
It's definitely worth a try mate. If it works, brilliant. If it doesn't, then you've lost 30 quid and an afternoon.
Brother, just paint it. So easy and perfect.
Great video though. Cheers mate.
I totally disagree! I’ve painted some stuff and unless you’ve got the perfect space and conditions, it always looks home made! With vinyl wrapping, i can have a new color every season and then return to stock whenever i want to. Plus doing it yourself, it’s far cheaper. 30-50€ and the tank has a whole new look. The Honda CB1000R is about to get it’s first vinyl re-style.
I see I missed a lot... what a beautiful haircut indeed - at some angle it sure has this brushed steel effect :D
You so desperately ignore modern trends in measuring technology :) is the device special? family history?
10:04 - no no no! There has to be slow motion and some erotic background music....
Nicely done!
Hahaha! Cheeky sod!! The archaic measuring device is called a ‚Zollstock‘ or in english, an inch-stick! Every tradesman across the country has them and the almost never have retractable tape measures. Its weird!!
Greats vids dude. What is that black ring thing on your filler cap called??Is it a standard item or something that is a extra. I want one on my tiger
That's the SW Motech evo tank ring.
Looks great. Dreaming about doing it, but don't have the "balls" :)
I say just give it a go. This whole attempt cost me about 50€ total. Plus I've still got 30cm of vinyl and 7m of knifeless tape left for the next try!
very nice work and beautiful colors. To ask if there is a lighter combination?
Thanks Savvas. I think there is an aluminum version, which is a much lighter silver.
@@AndyManCam thank you
Did you apply the black pinstriping 1/2 way onto of the brushed metal vinyl and 1/2 way on the paint?
Yeah i think so.
A Red line would be Nice to
I thought about that, but decided to keep it even more subtle.
