If you live within 2- hours of Charlotte, NC you're gonna wanna do this! - 12cb96vfr_imp - 07-03-2013
Hey guys, Monday I went to Sun Stoppers on Independence Blvd to see if they could install that clear 3M paint protection film on my gas tank. apparently they have multiple locations but this one specializes in paint protection.
They took some measurements and told me to come back today. It took them about 15 mins and it looks Amazing!!! I put it on the front of the tank where your belt buckle would rub, and on the side indentations where your legs may rub.
I'll try to upload a pic, but what's funny is you can't see it at all!!! it's guaranteed for
5 years, but he said it will more than likely last for a LOOONG time (double that ore more) if I take care of it, which I do.
Gordon is the name of the paint protection specialist, I told him to save the template since i was going to post in the forum and he might get some more CB's in there soon!!
If you're within 2-hours it's worth the ride down - trust me [/align]Gordon is the MAN!!!
My favorite thing about it is you keep the classic look of the tank and don't have to worry about jacking up your paint, I'm so impressed. A+++ for them

Interesting to hear about this. Please post a pic. I know cars and bikes can get the paint protection but I've never actually seen it on a full bike far less parts of a tank.
Is it affected by fuel spillage (say and accident during filling) or washing?

R748, you can even buy precut kits and apply it yourself to sections of the tank, etc. Yeah I know, a pro job is nicer. I have Tankslapper stuff on both my bikes. Just another option. http://thetankslapper.biz/
