IMPOSSIBLE One Piece Motorcycle Gas Tank Vinyl Wrap in Brushed Metal | For Charity 

I knew right from the beginning without it being on a tank stand (bolted or not) handling it was going to be crazy, definitely stressful, plus knowing the primer wasnt finish sanded for adherence. You killed it! 💪👊

I am in the process of wrapping my Harley Fatboy in Vvivid Satin chrome red and its been real challenge - this video and your other motorcycle tank wrap has helped me greatly. Wrapping the front of the tank is the biggest challenge as essentially its a half ball but by watching you pulling the vinyl from front to back which made the wrap fall into place when I had to do the sides. Next time I stop in on my way to the Yummy market I will bring my Harley and show you how successful I've been by watching your vids. Thanks so much Christian!!!

Dammm someone trying this for the first time or so especially on odd-shaped tanks like this are only going to run into difficulty after difficulty but that shouldn't stop you from trying. This guy is a pro and can read the reaction of the materials and then try to counter react against it some times many times over to get the wrap to do what he wants but all the time he is accessing and watching everything and making small but crucial adjustments and in my opinion just watching won't give you the knowledge and experience to undertake a job this difficult but who knows maybe after 5 or 6 attempts and a few extra helping hands you might get success, just don't forget the pros make things look a lot more easy to do than they really are ! This was great to watch I think most of us were on the edge of their seat wishing they could at least hold the tank from slipping, the wrap has some really interesting properties and learning to deal with them must be a challenge (great job) Whoever did the repairs to the tank did a third rate job and missed many imperfections and indeed it should have been cut back to increase contact with the wrap .

My blood pressure went thru the roof, just watching this! You are absolutely amazing! I thought it was impossible! Great job!

I just wrapped my whole car learning from your videos. Thanks bro

Your patience is really praiseworthy dear!!!!!!

So this made a huge difference for me. I was having a really hard time with wrinkles when i would round edges like a bumper as it rolls under the car. Or any time the lines would form a V. Glassing the wrinkles out instead of chasing them with my squeegee really sorted out my issues. Just an amateur doing my own car is all and no training other than CK Wraps. Anyway it was like a light coming on when i saw him glass the rounded edges of the tank and simply pull the wrinkles away. Thanks man. Such a difference i just did my side mirror with ease. I mean it was really simple now that i know wtf.

I've been watching your videos for a while and looking to wrap a few bits on my bike (part of the tank, belly pan and a couple of panels). Watching you do this has given me a better idea of how I need to do it - thanks 😁

Christian.....very nice of you to do that wrap for a charity. When you showed the gas tank at the beginning of the video, I had visions of it being as difficult as the other gas tank vid you did. You really knocked this one out even with all of the different tapers on the tank. Great wrap, and I know they're going to love it when they see it. My best, Scott

I just started watching , you definitely have the perfect temperament for this job! And a thumbs up👍in explaining everything

You are SUPER patient. Result was amazing! Now I want to wrap my bike! Cheers.

One of the best videos by far. Really shows your skill level.

What a super-patient person you are...also a great idea about getting creative when using separate pieces...I'm wanting to wrap my dirt bike plastics and I'll be adding graphics afterwards so the graphics will cover any seams I might have...thanks for posting.

Very cool. Was excited to see what the vinyl looks like. Pumped for you and your new shop! Cant wait to see the progression. Good luck man!

ck...you've been a huge help in vinyl wrapping over the years man. thank you so much! because of your tips over the years I was able to make a 2hr long how to wrap a motorcycle for beginners tutorial. it's helped a ton of people! I always encourage people to check your channel out because it's helped me a ton! this shit is dope man! I'll be routing my moto people to this video when they ask me about tank wrapping haha

Great Job. After watching two vinyl wrap gas tank videos of yours, I have the confidence to do this myself. I’m going to give it my best shot. I’m sure I’ll be successful. Failure is only a step towards success. Thanks for the shares. NYC

I’m so happy you posted this video! This is what all my projects look like

Man, I fought my tank and did it in three pieces. Got it looking good! Rode it to work today, in the sun where I had used knifeless tape, it shrank up and now I have to start over. Did I stretch too much? It's such a complex design, I'm about to give up. You make it look so easy.

Incredible wrap, you are beyond a Master!

Great job. That brushed aluminum looks amazing and especially because it's a wrap! 😍👍👍

Dude, your the best...a true artist....

Man, that is brilliant. Looks like a 70's vintage Honda tank, came out gorgeous!

Wow!!! stunning work ck talk about reaching mount everest, that was a beautifull job you did, always a delight watching your art reach higher peaks of perfection, you da man ck.

Would you just look at that!!! Great job! And the Ed bass master quote had me rollin. 😂

what hell of job!!!! amazing my friend...you're the best.....

You are AMAZING. i love watching your videos as they are so great. You make it look sooo easy. i have done a few tanks and shudder every time im asked to do one

Good job man! That was one of the first things I tried to wrap; after much cursing and going through miles of wrap I ended up spray painting the damn thing!

Been waiting on this👍

Amazing job as always! Makes me want to try a tank wrap.

Nice work Christian, you are the wrap Jedi Master!

I would never have guessed it would be that hard!

Easily the most informative video on wrapping I've seen so far :) could have used it a week ago before wasting a tonne of material failing to do my helmet but oh well lol at least I'm not using expensive stuff :P

you are a true artist

I'm wrapping my whole car with this.... the vinyl is no joke... its my first wrap ever

Great video thanks for doing this one as I'm looking to do my Harley satin chrome red during the winter.

You’re so professional with it man💯🔥I’m watching all your videos to learn as much as possible With not getting in person lessons

Great video, planning on doing my bike soon, “going to take my time as you said”

unbelievable. There literally were drops of sweat falling from my forehead while trying to wrap a gastank in 3m colorflip. This video gave me some new motivation haha

I am gonna need therapy after watching this video. I cant tell you how many time I ripped off the vinyl in my mind and would have taken it into my paint booth. The person who did the body work on the tank should be fired, because your work will be graded on the final finish and someone who notices the poor body work will attribute it to the person who did the wrap never thinking that you had to negotiate complex angles and ridiculous corners having nothing to do with the substrate you hand before you. I commend you on your patience and positive attitude. I can tell you love and if not mastered your craft. Great Job

Hardest thing to wrap is a motorcycle so coodos to you bro.

Estupendo trabajo. Eres muy bueno y explicas muy bien . Te felicito y muchas gracias por tu dedicacion.

Awesome job as always!!!

I’ve seen so many of your videos, I feel like we should be inviting your family over for holidays. 😂 thank you for the content, man!

Your job is amazing I appreciate it, you're a really professional bro.

Just getting into this, and you taught me alot thanks, gave me qn idea to use a wheel that can be clamped in place. curves are difficult and your way helps very much, great job. All the best 👍🏻🙂

Thanks for doing this for everybody Christian. Excellent work as always. Please post or link the bike reveal if you can. We'd love to see it! Keep kickin @$$ man!

Million dollar look 👍

Bro. Love the way you be patient with this job. I might throw it all away at first 15 mins Thanks for knowledge

The best wrapper ... he work very profesional ...max. perfect. Bravo...great...And thanks for the tips and tricks.

Amazing. What patience!

I am a loyal viewer on your channel My respect is great to you that you have so much patience to continue until it is right what you had in mind Super with kind regards Han from the Netherlands

mate im going to try on my 1st time ever xtz tenere tank was going to try crome effect after watching you a pro im gonna bright yellow wish me luck thank you for showing me wot im in for

Very difficult for gas tanks of bikes.. but thanks for this video it will help us for sure.. thanks

Wow! Watching you do challenging projects like this really inspires me to try our my more basic projects. Haha! Thank you for sharing.

Great job man.

thanks for the tips ! awesome video

I'd be a nervous wreck about 1/4 of the way through this job! I think I will leave this task (and the cursing) to a pro like yourself as a wise person knows their limitations. Excellent video/tutorial for the not so faint of heart!

Only about 4 minutes in and this makes me hate life, doing the front of a harley fairing for my first time wrapping (not smart, I know) and this looks exactly like me trying to do this thing. Thank you so much for doing this video, it let's me know that I might be able to do this... or get rid of the bike when my bf has his back turned lol

God this is informative, lovin these motorcycle wrapping vids

Incredible amount of patience.

BEAST!!!

So stressed watching, haha. I have to do this tomorrow. Wish me luck. Thanks for taking the time to video this difficult process.

Bro looks great gonna wrap my 2020 tacoma myself because of your channel 🤞

A second set of hands smoothing it down while you pull it into position would be so helpful. Great job Christian, turned out awesome.

I've watched probably all your videos. My first wrap was on my Indian Motorcycle... it came out pretty darn good. Only some minor basically unnoticeable imperfections, mostly glue lines.

Wrapping is Definitely more challenging than it looks. I'm watching this because I'm having a hell of a time wrapping my car antenna. Matt be ble to do in like 5 minutes literally. I've spent hours trying to wrap the stupid thing.

I wrapped my Harley Davidson FatBoy gas tank on the bike in two pieces. I was super happy with the outcome.

Thank you verry match Chris for this vidéo. ;)

this was hella stressful to watch 😂 great job tho!

genius!!!!! pro player!!

Master of patience.

Nice Job!!!

Great job!

Nice video teaching us out here. 💯👍🏼🙂

El jefe..,.. . your the best my friend .

CK the vinyl man...This guy has the patience of a priest...Good lord, Stress, max on overload just watching..This guy is from planet viny...lol

Amazing Talent & Work right there! *Mind* *Blown.* Wondered who's here, like me, watching the Vinyl Master work his Vinyl Wrap *magic* in mental preparation to attempt a *Darth* *Vader* *Helmet?*

That looks fantastic. Think I would've given up after 20 minutes of wrinkles.....mind you, I get frustrated with packing tape! Would be great to see a picture of the finished tank and the complete bike. Hope they raised some good money for the charity. Was a pleasure to watch you demonstrate your skills and experience. Thanks for sharing.

I recently tried a tank that was similar to this one but the front was solid and didn't have that open space. I ended up asking a friend to paint it. Watching this video I see some things I can do differently. I'm asking another friend to drop off a tank or two so I can practice. I need to hit this next level. ;)

Looked rough to do but damn it turned out badass. Great video man.

Wow you sure have a lot of patience but the end results was perfect

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!

Nice man

Good stuff. I'm having a hell of a time with M2 tail lights in one piece with VViViD air-tint smoke. If you do a video of M2 tails, I would love to see it man.

I find myself squeezing and twisting my phone as im watching this .. ha,ha....

Man a picture really is worth a 1000 words.

Looks great like everything you wrap. You always do a great job. I think I would like to try something like this. I would really like the challenge

Thanks for the great video. Would have loved to see how you finished the trimmed edges off, especially since your fingers had been touching the edge vinyl throughout the wrap process. My first wrap experience was a small panel from the side of a Ducati Scrambler gas tank, while the panel was off of the tank. The most difficult part was keeping the metal panel from moving around. I managed it, but it took about an hour per panel, and the perfectionist in me, says it's better than the original look, but the panels could look a little better for sure, so a future wrap will be done as well. can you suggest a good matte black vinyl to purchase, the one I used was off of ebay.

Dude, I lost my installer and had an $80,000 2020 F450 crane truck conversion to wrap... I have never wrapped a vehicle solo in my life... I had to deal with the complex curves of the cab bottom at the lower corners and was always so concerned about stretching a commercial wrap... I got over that fear from watching your videos. A $3,000 3/4 cab wrap and I nailed it due to your coaching. It is a double cab... and I also wrapped a toolbox on the bed... the customer was ecstatic! Now I have the trucks little brother... same F450 only a single cab and 12 fleet vehicles from a company they just acquired to wrap. I can't thank you enough! I had some "oh s*!t moments, but I backed off, read the vinyl, and took my time... much like this gas tank. Just break it off in small manageable chunks and keep moving. Yes, I am going to the 3M certification course just because I do want formal training, but your online training has made all the difference in the world. Thanks bro!

Love your vids. After seeing many of your videos i feel i might be able to do this a little. Could you upload a video of how you would wrap a cruiser motorcycle tank in multiple pieces using knifeless tape?

That looks like a Honda CB750F tank. Nice job as usual.

I tried wrapping a tank today after watching your first one-piece tank wrap vid and failed miserably. I was using some cheap 3m which would crease everywhere, and it had nowhere near the stretch that the vinyl you’re using - what is it? I was going to try it again anyways , but this vid is perfect timing! Thanks for the great content!

Awesome. I’m trying to do my Ducati Monster tank in one piece and already got into to trouble twice. Therefore running into my third try.😩 half to the tank looked great but end up with so much slack on the other half and could not fix. Probably did not stretched the vinyl enough in multiple directions.

Great video.

Already commented on this as a question. But after watching a tip for gas tanks is wrapping it on a bar stool so you can pull past the bottom corners it just helps without the table in the way.

@11:54 Finally a video that looks like when I wrap something :D :D

You are great. This is a work of art. Trying at the moment to wrap the rear upper tail seat on my Honda cbr 1000 rr. A nightmare I keep trying do do it from one peace without cutting the vinyl but .... probably I will need to borrow your brain 😂

hey man amazin

I was getting mad watches this 😆 u did well to keep your cool 😎

im doing one now and this is what hell feels like
