    3M DiNoc Vinyl Install

    I am thinking about wrapping my gas tank in some 3M DiNoc carbon fiber vinyl to give it a different look.

    Has anyone tried this? I am looking to wrap a 81 650G tank. Would a 3 ft x 3 ft roll be enough?

    Thanks for all replies. Happy Friday

      Thanks!

      Do you remember which brand you bought? Metrorestyling.com sells a 3d carbon fiber wrap, but not sure if it would be as good as the 3m stuff. It is a lot cheaper though.

            I just saw different shades of wrapping vinyl @ Pep-Boys,it is moldable to cover contours with a hairdryer,they had black and silver CF along with other shades and it is for wrapping cars so it is for outdoors obviusly.The price is around $20 for a 12x86 sheet.

              I picked up a 36"x36" roll of 3m scotch Brite cf 1080 for $45 should be enough for the tank

                Looking forward to your results. A fellow on the Busa forum wrapped his entire bike in white pearl and it looks quite good in the pics.

                      That stuff is tricky, be sure to get the felt applicator and watch as many youtube videos to get all the tricks and tips.

                          I picked up a felt tip squigee.

                          I decided to give 3m a call. They HIGHLY suggested I purchase a avery wrap glove. From my understanding it is really a good tool and a must have for professional looking installs.

                          To bad the damn glove is $18...
