Check out THIS video where I cover the tank with an awesome looking Brushed Steel Vinyl: th-cam.com/video/M_EmVO9q1y8/w-d-xo.html
Ideally you need a bit more length and a bit more width... that's what.... your mom said ;p
@crashnreset6987 😂😂👍🏻
One thing that I'd recommend while vinyl wrapping is using a winter glove as a sort of squeegee, helps smooth slightly more intricate parts with your fingers and will help protect your hand if you're using a heatgun.
You can postulate for the job of most patient guy on the planet ever... in my head I threw the tank and the vinyl through the window at least 3 times watching your video... nice job sir
Haha! It does take a bit of patience to get this done!
Bro why is this guy the nicest person on earth, like why cant all people be as open to hate and inviting to tips as he is?
Cheers mate. I totally agree. If most people on TH-cam didn’t get offended every time they get a tip or piece of criticism, it would be a far more positive place!
Watching an amateur do it instead of a pro is way more instructive and lets one know what to expect when attempting this job. Thanks!
Cheers mate. I think you're right. A pro will show you how it 'could' go. A chancer like me will show how it WILL go!
Wow top job sir! You have waaaay more patience than I would have had....nice one.
Cheers TMF! You fly-boys and your constant need for instant thrills! 😉 It was a real Test of my anger management skills mate! Lots of deep breaths and screaming into a pillow just out of shot!! 😂😂
Sorry 2 bother you but i need a tank cover for my 96 zx11. Any ideas? Thanks
@@AndyManCam lol
I never comment on videos but I wanted to say THANK YOU! I appreciate you leaving the challenges you faced and worked through in the video and links to the resources you used to help you. Awesome job!
Many thanks Todd. Happy to have helped and thanks for the watch mate!
Wow, just calculating the contour-lines/cuts, my head hurt, hats off to you Andy for completing that one! If I attempted that, my tank would look like a ransom note of vinyl clippings. Great shots at the end, looks great on the bike!
Cheers Eric. I had a proper laugh at the ransom note comment!
I’m very impressed with your workmanship and patience!
Thanks very much Don. Patience is definitely a big help with this job!
Excellent work in both the tank job and demo for us. You've inspired me to go forward with wrapping some bike parts! Thanks Man!
Good luck Brett. I hope it goes well! 🤞🏻
The actual wrapping looks like hell 😂 I'm anxious and frustrated just thinking about. I think I'll pay someone but great video, well done!
I know right! It’s a pretty stressful experience! I’ve decided to leave it alone for a while too! 😂
Great job done Andy you have given me the insperation and motivation to do the panniers doors and top box lid and maybe the tank on my Honda NT700 v love the video, and the music was just right. Safe rideing Sir.
Thanks Simon. Good luck mate. Start small and bring as much time and patience as you can!
I imagine that this video has bucked the established trend of "20% filming, 80% editing"!
I had hoped so. But sadly, condensing almost 5 hours of footage into 25 minutes was a bit of a pig of a job!! :joy: so it probably ended up about 50/50!!
Quite possibly the best video explanation I've seen so far. Very easy to follow and I'm excited to give it a try. Thank you.
"it could be better , maybe next time it'll be perfect"
Thats what she said lol
Nice vid been wanting to try this myself. If I get a result that's half as good , I'll be happy.
Haha, touché! Thanks Michael. Give it a go mate. Good luck!
I’ve given you a thumbs up Andy, and yes you have passed the test and got the job to do my fzs600, tank front mudguard and tailpiece cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Get in!! Thanks mate. I’ll be right over! 😜
Nice to see someone who doesn’t have experience wrapping tackling this project. I’ve been wanting to try and wrap mine myself. After watching this I think I’ll have a go!
Cheers John. I think this kind of thing is always worth a go. Small investment and low risk. If it doesn't work, you pull it off and move on. (Then take the vinyl off. Boom Boom!)
Absolutely top effort! I would have got no where near that! Still can’t believe I watched nearly half hour of vinyl wrapping but you made it entertaining! 👍👍
Thanks very much! Very happy to have kept you from getting bored at what is, let's be honest, a pretty boring subject!! :D
Great video with lots of good tips!
Good job mate, it looks great, thanks for sharing, it was fun watching you do it, good pointers for my tank wrap...
Thanks JP. My pleasure mate. Hope your wrap goes well.
A job well done Andy. Never in a million years would I ever attempt this type of project, my anxiety levels were through the roof just watching you!
Haha! Cheers PR. Fear not, my anxiety levels were up there too!
Mine too sweaty palms & DONT COME NEAR ME !!!!!!!!!.. stress level.😲
A pleasure to watch (in 2x), thanks!
Haha! Cheers! I wish I could have done it in 2x as well!!
If you don't like how the edges join, you could always use some pin striping tape over the edges in a contrasting color... Maybe if the bike was red and you were putting a black carbon fiber vinyl wrap on it, you could use some very narrow red pin strips on your edges as accents? Just like we don't expect the people who put sheetrock on walls to have perfect fit along the bottoms of the walls or around the doors and they use trim pieces / moldings instead.
I'm with you there. Problem with this stuff is that it's textured, so the pinstriping doesn't really stick as well as it would on a smooth vinyl. So eventually it starts to peel off. Could be that I did it badly, but hey, just an amateur!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I subscribed just bc of the “This is getting ridiculous” section!
You sir, have the patience of a saint! Nice video, impressive results.
Cheers Ewan. Had to take a lot of deep breaths and counting to 10 throughout!! 😂
Hi Andy, thanks for another well presented and informative video. From this end of the camera the finished article looks first class - very well done. 👍👍 I cannot think how you could have done a better job.
I thought the background music was really good too, thanks for including the playlist.
No thank you for watching it mate! Glad it looks good through the lens. TBH I actually AM pretty happy with it now that it's on the bike. Certainly looks better up close than the hack job I did on the Versys!!
Awesome work. Welldone.
That was quite relaxing and entertaining...good job mate!
Many thanks Jeffery. Vinyl wrapping is kind of therapeutic to watch, isn’t it! Not so much to do it though!! 🤣
Amazing I really enjoyed your video. Very helpful x
Glad it was helpful Lizzie. Thanks!
Brilliant job, really great vid
Thank you most kindly dear boy!
Looks good Andy! 👍🏻 I would go full on OCD and try to patternmatch, which in turn would bring me in to full rage. And ultimately in to a proffessional shop to do it for me. As long as the part survived 😂
Actually I had a strange lapse and didn't think of that when I was doing the side pieces. Now I kind of regret it because the side pieces are going in different direcctions from each other and I hate it!! :O
@@AndyManCam Oh, i think it turned out great. I guess it would had to been done as one whole piece otherwise. So i think you got a really good result 👍
looks ridiculous
@@AndyManCam oh good not just me.
If you can't say something nice...
Big thumbs up for this vid Andy. It's hard enough to wrap a tank and get everything right, but to also record & edit the process... now that's a lot of work. Looks like you did a great job. Hopefully it holds up well when you start riding the bike again.
Thanks very much MF. TBH you're not at all far from the truth!! The filming was certainly a HUGE contributing factor to the high blood pressure levels!! Looking forward to seeing it out there in the sunshine!!
awesome. two thumbs up and five out of five stickers for you sir ! gives me confidence to think about trying this!
You have to do a vid on wrapping Ichi! haha
Thanks Ichi! I wholeheartedly agree with @Kim Jong Il, I for one would warm up the popcorn for a wrapping video!
Nice! I've been thinking of doing this, this is the first time I've seen it done. looks good! cheers
Thanks! I’d always say to give it a go. Little cost, little Risk and the potential to change the look of your stuff!
This gives me confidence to wrap my tank, thanks!
Glad to hear it! Go for it mate. The overall financial risk is really not that bad. Just the increased blood pressure and time wasted!!!
Great job! I learned A LOT!
AMAZING! SATISFYING! (That's what she said!) Thanks for the video. It helped us out a lot.
That was mental! Very impressive, Sir. That looked very difficult, you handled it like a champ!
Cheers, from Northern Califonia.
Many thanks! It was a challenge, but overall I was happy! Though not happy enough that I didn't try again with something different! th-cam.com/video/M_EmVO9q1y8/w-d-xo.html
😯. Lots of time and effort into doing this Andy! Looks great and as always.. I enjoy your videos.. As a side note.. I purchased the Michelin Pilot Road 5s based on your reviews! Thanks Andy
Time invested! ;) Thanks mate. I hope you enjoy the Road 5's nearly as much as I have! Best tyres ever!
Man, that looks good to me! Great demo, Andy, and a beautiful finish. I'm not sure that I have your patience, but I'm now willing to give it a go 👍
Cheers Keith. I think that for the cost involved, it's always worth a go. When it works, it's deeply satisfying!! Good luck!!
Thanks for that, looks good to me. My daughter and me have just done the faded plastic panels on the side of my bike, vast improvement seeing it was our first attempt, not too bad if you don't look to close.
Thanks very much! Glad you've got a finish you're happy with. That's whats important!
You have a professional voice..... Very comedic and good sense of humor.. Lol great work too I've learned
Awesome, thank you!
That turned out great, well done!
Thanks very much DC!
nicely done, you made that look easy
Thanks Mr Daniels! Editing made it look easy. I made it look like I was blindfolded and with one hand behind my back!! :D
LOOKED GOOD WITH MIDDLE DONE AND SIDE PAINTED.....NICE WORK!
I agree. That was my original plan. But I got a better deal on the vinyl so thought I'd see how it looks fully covered. Maybe a half covered finish next time.
Great job!! Buen trabajo
Muchas gracias Juan!
Nicely Done!
Many thanks indeed!
Fantastic lessons learned…well done kind Sir !!
Thank you kindly!
Carbon Fiber Tank Wrap Looks GOOD!
Cheers William! I agree. Can't wait to see how it looks in the sun!
Georgeous work, great soundtrack again.
Thank you kindly Mr. Bauer.
Love the tunes!
That turned out really good!!
Thanks very much mate!
I’m impressed, I’ve tried this. It’s freakin hard.
Thanks Brent. Yeah, it’s definitely not straightforward!
looks amazing
Thanks very much Todd.
Brother you are so much better at this craft, than you give yourself credit for; Beautiful job mate" "Be Safe!
Thanks you very much Legend. I guess it went pretty well, all things considered.
That is a pretty decent job. If you leave about 4 inches of the knifeless tape sticking out where you are going to start it is much easier to work with.
Thanks Bob. Yeah I realised too late that I’d left the ends far too short. Next time!
Wrapping is tricky. I did my white side panels on my KLX. First timer. Did ok. Thankfully it’s a camp print. LOL. Hides the few imperfections. But an overall improvement on appearance. My cut tape lifted off as I adjusted the wrap. Panel was properly cleaned but I made due. Definitely have to pin down the piece you are working on.
Thanks for your help.
Patience’s is the word of the day,will have to try this myself
It's definitely worth a go for the low price of admission! Even if just to test how patient you really are! ;D
Looks great 👍
Thanks very much Ken.
Awesome job, Andy!
Thanks very much Jon!
The finished product looks great! But I can't imagine myself having the patience to do it. Of course when it is too cold to work in the garage, I expect your roommate would rather have you *wrapping* in the kitchen, than *paint-spraying* in the kitchen.
Thanks!! I reckon you're right there! The missus already had a little bit of a wince when she saw me shifting a petrol tank about on the ktchen table!! I imagine a cloud of sticky black paint might have pushed her over the edge!!
wooow, you have great patience.... well job done.
Cheers! Patience learnt through many agonizing hours of just wanting the job to be finished!!
Clean work man.Love the video .
Thanks very much MG!
AndyManCalm in action. You make these things look easy mate 👍🏻
Ha! Thanks mate. It's all an illusion and clever editing!
Well done!
Thanks very much ON!
Great job mate.😊
Thanks very much Jimmer.
Looks good well done 👍
Thanks very much I&S!
Wow this looks brilliant.
Thanks very much Dinesh!
Ya did a great job well done.........👍
Thanks very much Gremlin!
Brilliant mate... or as we say over here, Awesome dude.
Fair play to you young man. patients 100%
Thanks Les! Patience earned through decades of DIY and saving money!! :D
Great music choice! Was very funny and easy to watch!
Thanks very much indeed Dan! I've been accused of having some dodgy music choices in the past, but I think I'm finally getting it!
Never before has a vinyl wrapping video made me laugh as much. 😂
Cheers! That's very good to hear! It always seems that the closer I am to tears, the funnier the videos are for the audience!! XD
@@AndyManCam I think I read somewhere (or not) that suffering is good for one's art.😜 Seriously, though, that was a work of art. I cannot imagine your patience. I tried to superglue the thing that holds the visor together and after too many f%&#ing dammits, I gave up.
Haha! They say that it’s character building too. I should start selling character on eBay!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Cracking job mate you really did do a great job and your bike looks so so so good 👍 well done seriously pal x jase
Nice work👍👍👍
Thanks very much Banditman!
awesome job!!! nice work !!!
Vielen Dank! And i didn’t even throw anything out the window in a frustrated rage!
@@AndyManCam great respect for this self-control :-)
More like dedication to the video! Without cameras, it would all be in the bin!
Good job dude
Many thanks Adithya!
Thanks for that! I have a long range aftermarket tank on my KLR. It is a transparent whitish colour which I planned to vinyl wrap until I saw this. I now have decided to leave the fk'n thing alone! Cheers!
Hahahaha! Very happy to have helped mate, regardless of the direction! 😄
yup.me to.
If you decide to wrap youll have to make relief cuts once your finished!! My buddies xc race there quads and have oversize tanks and theyre graphic kits bubble and pull off in the first couple of weeks w/o relief cuts because tanks without the tank cover offgas quite a bit and thatll ruin the adhesive
I thought that you would go with the grain of the top piece instead of the opposite direction. Great job. I am looking to get a new Yamaha fjr 1300 es. I want it in black like the 2017 model but it comes in blue. The dealer had told me about wraps, and so here I am researching and found your video. Thanks a bunch. Cheers from across the pond. 👍
I decided early on that trying to match the grain would be a frustrating and long winded affair! I also had limited vinyl, so I just gave up before I started and used in whatever direction it worked!! I think I’ll be changing it soon anyway. Good luck with your wrap. It’s a great way to change up your bike, but maintain the ability to just change it again later!!
Good job mate 👍
Cheers very much mate!
U made me want to buy carbon fiber vinyl wrap 😭😭😭 looks awesome!
Haha! Sorry about that! Hope you have as much, if not more success with your project Thomas!
+Just wrapped a belly pan for my FZS600 in the same carbon-effect, About to do the final heat treatment thanks to this film. Nice One
Many thanks Gilbert! Hope the pan came out how you were hoping!
Looks fantastic! You’ve a lot of patience. Don’t think I would even attempt it.
Thanks mate! I have to count to 10 in my head a lot! I do it for you guys!! xx
Amazing !
Thanks very much Sven.
"that's what she said....that's what she said... This is getting ridiculous 😒" 🤣😂 new sub! 🤘
I know, i know. It’s getting out of control!
great vid.awesome production.i was thinking of vinyl wrapping my tank.after seeing what a ungodly pain in the ass it was,i think ill just consider my ugly tank a anti theft device.thanks so much.:)
Haha! See the positive in every negative eh!? It was a real ballache mate, though I’m glad I gave it a crack. If nothing else, I think I increased my patience levels!
Good video, sir..... nicely done!
Thanks very much Tony!
looks great
Thanks!!
Exceptional!
Thanks very much!
Patients of a saint well done.
Patience gained through literally years of saving money!! :D
Well done Andy Lad!!
Cheers muchly David!
I always wrap my bikes, see my most favorite in my avatar although the wheels were plasti dipped.
The best trick I have learnt is that if you are faced with a panel that is near impossible to single wrap and you have to do the wrap in sections, then look for a way to create a design that means you can be lazy and just use a different color and make look like it was meant to be :)
I also found that so long a the scratch is not too deep the wrap covers scratches very well with no effort. If it is deep just fill it, smooth it, wrap it.
The pro version of the wrap cut is better, it has a stickier back enabling you to do curves more accurately.
EDIT: Tension and Stretching are both your friend and your enemy.
EDIT EDIT: Umm you should have done the sides first, you want the edge to be facing down that way when anyone standing in front or the side of your bike will not see the edge so easily. Also if you are working with two colors the edge will have risk of getting dirty and it will stand out more if the edge is facing upwards.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Carbon or any textured wrap is the hardest to do... you did pretty good for your first go... try matt next time, it is much more forgiving :)
QUADRUPLE EDIT: If you follow CKWrap's guidance you should pull the tape at a 90 degree angle , I think in some places you were leading it which can create a dodgy edge, but the wavy parts you mentioned maybe where parts of the tape pulled away or got stretched away when you were wrapping.
BLAH EDIT: check this out th-cam.com/video/m0qOOcIDGuk/w-d-xo.html ;)
Cheers mate. Some good tips there. Will probably mix things up a bit next time. I’ve actually seen that video. Impressive wrapping going on there.
Good job mate, it's a thankless task.
Thanks! Luckily it wasn't a Tankless task, otherwise the video would have been short.... :I
Looks awesome
Cheers very much Danny!
It is beautiful! 👍
Thank you very much!
Mate, hats off to you for having a go, I've certainly never done it. If I did I'd only be interested in doing a one piece with no visible joins. Surely the wrap is available in wider dimensions.
Cheers Mark. I think single pieces is certainly a clever way to start. Otherwise you may just destory all motivation for future projects!! Yeah the vinyl is available in larger dimensions. But I knew that I wouldn't have the skill to do the tank in one and saved the money by getting the smaller size.
Your patience won you a subscriber!
Thanks very much Syed! Welcome to the team!
@@AndyManCam I own a Yamaha fz16 also known as bison, planning to get some of its panels wrapped up!
Nice. Good luck with your wrapping mate.
Omg great work, I thought putting sticker kits on dirt bikes was hard work that's next level.
Cheers Bigals. At least with this you don't have to line the stickers up perfectly. You just cut it to size when you're finished!!
Tank Decals would be good.
It's sadly a bit tough to stick stuff over the carbon vinyl as it is textured. Maybe with a gloss version.
Great video - Thanks! Also for the Betty Boop music.
Thanks Jens! I thought the music worked well. Bit of fun! :D
