How To Paint A Motorcycle Tank On A Budget (DIY) 

This guy is an inspiration. A great neighbor.

I appreciate the video. Getting ready to paint a couple of motorcycles that are done except for paint. This was helpful.

Whole thing was so satisfying for me ❤️ great work Brother 💫

Love your videos and awesome positive attitude. Thanks for what you do, I’ve been learning a lot.

Nice video. I do a bit of the same in my shop. I have the same tank and made a table top stand for it by screwing together two 2x6s in a T shape. The tank sits on it like a bike frame. I paper the stand off and pop the tank on to prep and paint.

Very good video...liked and subscribed...I want to do this...I learned at least a few things...thanks!!

Great video. Thanks.

Thank you, great job,very informative, thank you for your teaching and inspiration. I’ve seen great car paint guns , you’re the best. Harbor freight has risen in quality control especially for the DYI.R/

Hey man, you do real nice work. I have a DR650 that I've been considering painting. I have never done any 'real' painting before, but I have a ton of experience in polishing. I think you've given me the confidence to give it a go! Thanks for the info.

Good information and video. I find it helpful to mount the tank on a bicycle repair stand. The tank can then rotate in the x and y axis without touching the tank, just touching the stand. This allows the top to be painted easier and gives better access to all surfaces. The bottom edge of the tank hangs in the air allowing a cleaner application. Less likely to drop, bump or touch the tank with greasy hands while working on it.

very nice job

"... you want warm water because cold water, is cold." XD

Thanks for sharing a great video

What a legend... Don't let high price tools intimidate you! 🏆Go built something!...

Nice work man. How much would you charge to do a white job like this for tank, fenders and side covers?

Good video 👍

Looks good. What paint did you spray?

Super job on the tank, I'm very interested in the time lapse machine you built, any video of that ?

You want warm water, because cold water is... cold. xD

What paint do you suggest and what primer?

I have a quick question. I recently painted my fuel tank similar to yours and think it turned out well. However, there were two spots I missed with the spotting putty and now they're visible in the final job. I even used spraymax 2k clearcoat on it. I was wondering if it would be possible to sand down to the primer/paint in these areas and then patch them, paint again then clear coat. Not sure if it'd be better to just accept it wont be perfect cause I could see it doing more damage. If you think I should try to fix, what sandpaper should I use and which layer would be good to sand to (primer/paint)? I think in your other video you said you could paint over the spot filler but not sure if it'll just show more after.

How to do the plastic parts?

This is exactly what I want to do, color and all. What brands were you using for primer and paint?

Real nice job, how about putting a decal on should I put down the base coat than the decal and the clear coat over everything last ?

Hey there, great tutorial ! Your buffing machine, I’m guessing it’s not like a regular angle grinder ?

How much would it cost me to take it to the shop and have it fixed and painted my Kawasaki 2007 gas tank ? If I was to do it myself I do have the basic tools first time doing anything like this and am a new motorcycle 🏍 rider just happen to drop my motorcycle

You didn't tell us what kind grit you used to sand the puddy.

7:08 the sound of a squeaking hinge slowly moving when you open the door.

Is there any reason who you didn’t choose to. Hang the tank up vertically so you could paint both sides at once? Great video given some confident to do this myself

Where do you get the 400-600 and 800-1200 sponge pads?

You're not showing me how to apply primer, base coats, secondary coats, clear coats, why they're necessary, etc. Most quality paint kits come with those and require those.

hi, did you add a 2K clear coat after the polish?

They did a "pre _____ primer coat." What did he say there? I couldn't make it out.

I have a bare metal tank being shipped to me that I want to paint black. I'm not sure of I can pull it off. Do you offer painting services?

Hey bud where are u based out of? May have some more work for you if interested

Dude, this is super informative! Thank you. But you can't breath all that dust, you gotta wear breathing masks!

How much do you charge?

You're expensive dude you want me to buy the buffer I might just send a tankto be painted

They brought it to you without being dented now you you said at first that it was perfect and now you're saying there's dents on it man you made those dents you're funny dude he's trying to charge more he's
