The most impressive tool I saw here was the barstool. Ingenious use of your environment to keep you from having to constantly move around the tank.

Yeah pretty rad that. I'm gonna be searching a stool like that all over

Also only use 2K clear on your gas tank, otherwise you will get a nasty surprise if you ever spill gas on it with regular clear, it will just melt. 2K is a must.

What if you use the 1k one that’s the same protection like the 2k but it’s just 1k ?

@@dongotti6802 Nono! If you want to use it for something that's going to have gas near it, don't use 1k "It won't do" 1k and 2k stands for 1 component and 2 component clear coat. Meaning one has a hardening component and clear coat (2k) while 1k just have clear coat. 1k works for stuff that you're going to have inside or something that doesn't need to be durable. Also note as he stated in the video, 2k spay cans have a time period when you can use it before it has hardened IN the can.

Sellers who claim a 1k paint that offers the “same” protection as 2k or catalyzed paint is marketing/lying to reach the masses. There are those who think there must be a money saving hack hidden by the greedy paint companies BUT wise people learn from others mistakes.

So 2k for gas tank and 1k for everything else should be fine right?

I really appreciate how you tell us WHAT GRIT you are using every time and how much time you are waiting between coats of either puddy or paint. You would be surprised to see how many videos they are sloppy about this, and we end up not knowing what the heck they did. Thank you.

Really like that you took the time to walk through all the materials at the start. clear and concise

Bar stool as a painting platform. Another reason to love bar stools ;)

Glad I'm not the only one using rattle cans and 2k clear for motorcycles.

I'm working on my first bike build and I've been studying painting and I have to say your video is by far the best and most detailed explanation of how to do it right that I've seen. Most people won't realize how much time it takes to set up and shoot all the different angles, review the footage and edit the videos. So thank you! As a newbie it's incredibly helpful and although I'm sure I'll make plenty of mistakes along the way, this video is a perfect step by step guide for me to tackle one of the more challenging parts to a bike build. Kudos man! 👍✌

Great tutorial Taylor! There's something seriously theraputic about watching a really good spray job.

Buddy, I appreciate this level of detail in the tutorial. It's on an idiot's level. Fully appreciated by myself and probably the majority of DIY dudes out there. Cudos.

This is seriously the most detailed and descriptive video on painting I've seen! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so well!

What an amazing video. Every other video seems to miss out a step or fails to mention something. You covered it all. Great job!

This is probably by far the best tank fix video I have watched, and I’ve watched many. Nice work.

Thoroughly enjoy watching your vids! What an excellent result

Great informative video. Beautiful color and quality work. You make it look easy!

nice bar stool usage too, cheap and easy! Thanks for posting this Taylor

I allways enjoy watching your work, this is a tutorial I am not intimidated to give it a go. 👍👏🔥

This video is amazing, thank you for sharing! i just finished my own tank following these steps and it looks great!

This is ace. My CB550 was purchased today and is being delivered (I don't have a full license yet - just a CBT) next week! Well excited to get stuck into mine. It's already a good runner so electrical, then aesthetics are the changes needed, then exhaust and wheels in time. So glad I found your channel man - your content is great!

Thank you for sharing that was very cool it’s like you said you just have to have patience and go through the steps of painting. the job came out excellent ...!

This is the best video I've seen on the subject. Thanks!

Great work with rattle cans, Taylor!!! I would add, that if buying multiple cans, try to get all the same "lot number" or "batch code" because there are variations from one to the next OR make sure you have a whole can to do the entire last coat.

Just wanted to thank you. I painted my honda magna a nice honda red a few months ago, and it's still perfect. Really appreciated your video.

Answered a ton of questions with this video. I just bought a ‘75 CB550 that will be getting this treatment. Thanks a bunch.

Great job, beautiful. I've been wanting to paint my Cb550k tank and your video gave me some very good tips. Thanks. 👍👍🇨🇦

Well done, a first class video with a fully explained step by step process.

Nice Tutorial. Pretty much summed up the process I do with rattle can paint projects... the only difference is I tend to lay down the clear as soon as it flashes for a good chemical bond. However, if I'm doing graphics or stripes or any multi-color projects (where you have to tape off and paint various colors in stages) often the first colors of paint has already cured so you shouldn't really apply the clear right away...in those cases, I do a final wet sand (1200 grit) before I use 2K clear over the whole project. Comes out great!

Great step by step. Will give people a lot of confidence to try at home.

Great work. I find it convenient to mount my tank on a bicycle repair stand. It mounts up sturdy with adjustable height, it rotates and exposes all surfaces that I want to finnish such as where the petcocks mount. It also helps prevent accidently dropping the tank on the floor.

Im really enjoying your channel man. I have a 1978 cb750k that was my grandpas hasn’t ran in 20 years and now it does your videos definitely helped a lot 👌🏻

Amazing and very clear videos. Great job man

Thanks for this. I will be following these tips when I am ready.

Great video Taylor. I do exactly the same process and it always works fantastic 👍🏼

Excellent instruction and information! Thank you!

I have used the 2k several times and it is really the only way to go without mixing professional type paint and clear with hardner , it holds up to fuel spills well . No clean up easy peasy Outstanding job BTW

Thanks for an excellent tutorial. I will watch this a couple of times before I do the work. Very professional instruction. Thanks again from Australia.

Awesome video Taylor. Great practical info thanks.

Well done. Simple tools with meticulous perfection and great finish.

Excellent video! Thanks for all the tips.

Awesome content! Thanks and keep up the good work.

Excellent tutorial,Cleary detailed

Hi Taylor, you should get a stopper rubber, in my day we used stopper over sanded bondo, it stopped the paint from sinking into the bondo and being able to see the repair. The stopper rubber was/is a great bit of kit, did i mention that i was a time served paint sprayer, now retired. I always finished the sanding down with 800, and always applied 3 coats at a time , 3 times, sanding down after every 3 coats. I miss spraying bikes and cars, I really loved doing it, and the end result was amazing for me. I had a great teacher/journey man. And like you said.......the secret is in the preparation!!! Great video Taylor. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧🎄

Nice, great results! I used that 2k clear on my cb400f tank and people think it was professionally painted all the time. You make it look a little too easy though...

Glad you showed even the minor imperfections and how to treat them. Lots of us appreciate the finer details others omit showing us just how Great they can paint. (A lil jealous maybe...but, I am not a pro at it. ) 😄😄😄 Thank You Sir.

Really nice job. Thanks for the videos.

Hi from the uk, paint looks awesome dude picked up some good tips.

As soon as I saw that Austin, Texas sign in the back..... SUBSCRIBED! I sure miss my native home. Beautiful looking paint job. I’m going to try to duplicate this paint job on a $100 1973 Honda CL350k4 project when the weather warms up here in Seattle, Washington.

looks pretty dang good, I like that color too.

Just what I needed! Cool video. Thanks.

Great work!

Great job mate

Thank you for the great info!

Great video. Full of information

Very impresive video!. Thank you very much!

Wonderful J-O-B! I had to clean the dust off my computer screen you had me looking that close. :)

Just got my first bike about to paint it myself, ty. For the really informative video seriously . I'm going 2 use the info 2 paint mines

Great job and awesome tutorial. Thank you for this.

I used almost the same process to paint my 64 Ford falcon back in 1973. It came out surprisingly well. Considering the pain quality back in the day. Great how two video for a DYI

Great tutorial mate !

Looks good!

This is a really sympathetic guy; very clear direction as to how to do it the right way. I really dislike the peanut tanks, so now I'm gonna change that one on my bobber. Found a splendid inexpensive, but really great, sturdy tank on eBay - double the peanut volume at that, the peanut is really a joke and comes at twelve in a dozen...

Awesome job

Great video young man.

Tip, hang the gas tank to the ceiling (garage opener) by the tank rear mounting hole so dust and overspray won’t kick up. The paint can that you used and 2k nozzle can be turned to spray in a horizontal fan to spray the gas tank in an up and down motion when it is hung. 2K clear is self leveling, lay it on medium to wet and only wait 8min in between coats. A little runs will heal itself after an hour.

Looks awesome

Everything was pretty good budget paint job BUT spot putty is definitely not made to be used in that way. Just a heads up for anyone attempting this. You need to use a proper 2 part glaze or body filler for low spots or waves. Keep the spot putty for chips or tiny scratches and that’s about it

Thank u. I am more encouraged now to do my triumph thunderbird sport new paint.

Bonjour ! Thanks for your Job, it's very pro and easy to follow. Nice idea to present the products BEFORE !!😶

Great work

thank you for this. I'll be doing my bike this fall

Great channel! Denttime does a great job removing dents on tanks WITHOUT REPAINTING 😉 I’ll be performing PDR on my own cb550 I picked up.

Very informative video 👍

Nicely done 👍🙂

Great video! I would have liked to see it done where you cover up the indents of the old emblem.

Nice work...thanks from the uk.

Awesome video brother thank you very much for the info, you and Cafe racer garage's Channel have a good video on painting but yours does go into more detail, awesome video brother! keep them coming, and noooo! come on! that paint booth is not your work bench! Now who would think that!😄

Awesome tutorial, Taylor. Your channel is a gift for the DIY home mechanic.

Applying the putty is so satisfying. This could be an asmr video!

Superb tutorial thank you. I much prefer real time to time lapse

I was digging the thumbnail. Half paint/ half raw lol. Great paint job. This helped me when I did my sporty.

That clear coat is really good ! Very worth the $10-$15 more than the other clear coats for sure !

Great video,thank you

I've fixed several tanks with bondo. Just as you said with paint. It's all in the prep work with bondo. I haven't had it crack or fall out yet and the repaired tank has had bondo on it for 6 years so far.

Awesome paint job! Have been waiting for this video. Keep up the good work. What about how to change tires?

Appreciate the video. Feel way more comfortable painting some parts on my car.

I really like this process for a DIY job without air compressor

Nice job dude. We need more videos lol Cabin fever ya know :(

Awsome, did a strat guitar body the same way. Gearing up to do Harley 5 gal. tanks with same process.

Very good tutorial 👍

Paint came out great looking..keep the videos coming also how about some off roading on the Klr...

Thanks for this video. I'm getting ready to paint my first tank. Been prepping it all week. (It needed some bondo, which I've never done before.) I might be getting ambitious for my first time...I'm trying to do a stock style paint job on 1964 Triumph 650 tank. Originally I was going to do one color, but I figure I might as well try to replicate the stock two tone tank and see what happens.

Great explanation Taylor, thank you for giving me the confidence to 'have a go'. You have demistified a lot of the terminlogy I've heard. Just need you to explain a two-tone process now :)

Love the shirt

Love the video. Only thing is to have a separate area for a sanding area so you don’t get your work areas dusty.

For black and red I use implement paint. It takes a lot longer to dry but it is incredibly durable.

Great video. I need to find one exactly like this except using a spray gun.

One easy thing you can do to get your cans to spray way better is heat them up. All you have to do it let them sit in hot water for maybe a half hour or so before you paint. Make sure you wipe it off before you paint though so it doesn’t drip on your paint. It will make your can spray much better

Good job, I've done many like that over the years. One suggestion, I would apply the paint in a cross hatch pattern, coat to coat. In other words, I would apply a coat length wise like you show, then side to side on the next coat until you're satisfied it's even and with complete coverage. That makes it easy to get a really good even coverage across any surface. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the that project!

This was an excellent how to Taylor Love the results. Nick Australia
