Hey guys, do any of you know a local source who sells carbon fibre and clear paint protection vinyls? 3M preferred but if other brands are in par, I wouldnt mind. I want to protect my tank paint from my tank bag.
The thing is, I have a tank pad and gas cap protector and tank grips. So I was thinking of just getting the main exposed paint areas the tank bag will touch (which is mainly the top portions) and just cover that up. But thats
I bought a roll of this faux carbon fibre vinyl film from Cdn Tire last year:
It works well as a tank protector and doesn't peel off. I have a "test piece" on my gas powered blower for the last 4 years, and it hasn't moved. Its been exposed to dirt, grime, gas, oil, and lots of abuse.
Plastic world on sheppard.
awesome store, bought a bunch of real carbon fiber from them. They also have the resin and everything else you might need. I bought it because i'm doing a negative mold of all of my fairings (really lengthy process but i'm doing a write-up for all of those noobs like me).
A few years back i bought ebay fairings and was worried about the color chipping off so i wrapped the bike in clear 3m vinyl (bought from them too). Was a pain in the butt BUT it worked PERFECTLY. not one scratch and it was always super glossy!!
My recommendation, if you're going to wrap the tank get some 3m adhesive primer or the cf will peel off. It's a big pain with awkward edges and if you don't do it right (pull to hard, heat too much etc etc etc!!!) you'll have to start from scratch!! If you're not doing CF and sticking with clear vinyl, it'll be much much easier and you'll be able to tug and heat.
Managed to find someone in Kitchener selling the 3M Clear film. Had it shipped in 2 days, will give it a shot in 2 weeks and see how hard or easy it is at applying.
