Recently, Ferret was kind enough to share some templates he made for applying protective film on the fuel tank of the CB. Before ordering a sheet of the 3M product online, I called and spoke with the owner of the local high end car detailing shop here in town.
(When I arrived, they had a brand new Mercedes AMG-GT S, a mint condition Porsche 356, a 911 GT3 and a 2005 Ford GT in the shop getting detailed to perfection! I got a little dizzy from all of the four wheeled eye candy!)
Anyways, the owner was kind enough to give me a 5 minute crash course on how to obtain good results. He also gave me enough "scraps" (some pieces are 24x24") that I can now have enough to practice a bit with and then wrap EVERYTHING on all of my bikes, the front strip of my truck's hood, the hood on my wife's minivan and still have some left over for the gas tanks on my future bikes.
So before going eBay or Amazon, give your local shop a call and ask them if they would please save you some scraps that they are probably going to toss in the trash anyways!
For your viewing pleasure!
I wanted to go deeper into the shop as I could see hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not over a million dollars worth of exotic and luxury cars. He invited me to come back when he was not so busy with my son to take a look around.
