I was going through the same pain with my tank. After wasting 2 complete sheets, I asked a friend to help me out. We heated up the tank and the vinyl and streched it over the tank holding the vinyl from two sides. That worked out very well, although the detailing still took quite some time

Looks very nice AMC, your getting very good at this game. (Little advise, use the knifeless tape on ALL cuts, even if it can't be seen. With a blade you can cut through the paint and undercoat, which can in time let water get to the metal resulting in rust).

I constantly hear and read, that the VINYL WRAP protects and saves the vehicle's paint job. How can it adhere well enough to the paint beneath (adhesives) without causing damage? Particularly when parked under the sun's intense rays and heat? Just leaving BLUE MASKING TAPE on my RUSTOLEUM CAN PAINT JOB for about 3 weeks was sufficient to cause damage to it's once glossy smooth surface.

The longer you leave it on, the harder it is to get off. But the products usually have a max time recommended before it should be removed. I’ve never had any issues and the paint always looks like new underneath. Modern adhesives are simply magic!

With vinyl wrapping, i can have a new color every season and then return to stock whenever i want to. Plus doing it yourself, it’s far cheaper. 30-50€ and the tank has a whole new look. The Honda CB1000R is about to get it’s first vinyl re-style.
