Motorcycle Tank, Vinyl Wrapped - One Piece!! CB1000R
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- In this video I attempt to wrap the tank of my Honda CB1000R with a single piece of Avery Dennison Brushed Titanium Vinyl.
Hopefully this will provide the incredibly soft paint on this bike with a little bit of extra protection while simultaneously making the already awesome looking bike just that little bit more custom!
Break out the sticky stuff and let's WRAP!
I'm not a professional, just a chancer with some time to kill!

Brave man Andy. I don’t have both the skill or patience for that job. Looks good though. 👍🏍🇦🇺
Cheers Russell. You don’t know until you try! 😉
Would love to see it live. Good job for an amateur and a 1st time.
Thanks Marius! This was almost live! I left all the back and forth in for the torturous enjoyment of all! 😂
@@AndyManCam 😂
Vinyl wrap... One those things that look incredibly easy on video yet nearly impossible for the average person.
So very true! I hate doing it, every time! But always think i can so it better than last time. Until i try again and it’s painfully difficult!!
😎👍
It looks the same before. Backroundmusic is worst. Shut em up.
A: no it doesn’t. B: There’s a volume control 👍🏻
Fairly sexy that my friend!
you should be congratulated for even attempting that in one piece m8....Bravo AMC!!
Wheels next?
Cheers bruvv! He who dares! The wheels would be definite tantrum fodder!!
Vinyl wrap wheels !!! 🦆 that! It’s bad enough trying to get the pinstripes tape on neatly.
@@tdmtam haha! So true! I need something with less angles, not more! 😂
Andy I think there's a lot of married fathers out there that agree with your sentiments... Can't do anything at all about the stretch marks, just going to have to see how long they can take it and what to do about it! 😏
Hahaha! Say no more! ;D
Lovely job matey! OK so what slider are you using, love that look?
Cheers Chops! It’s one of these mate: MOZA Slypod: amzn.to/3sV6dQ8 not cheap, but very good!
@@AndyManCam is yours the E version Andy? Just about to press the buy button! Costing me money again you swine! 😎👍
Mine is the E mate. I had the grown up version, but it was defective and then out of stock! The E version is a chunk heavier, but the function is exactly the same. You just don’t get the fancy carry case!
@@AndyManCam OK thanks Andy 👍
No worries! Happy sliding! It’s addictive once you start! 😉
I've wrapped a lot of bike parts in my day. EX250F, MT-03, FZ-07, Sportster X, Monster 797, few Groms and others I can't remember. Most of them were my friends bikes that I had the tools to do it. So I let them use them, and helped out. I'm not a professional to any extent, but I enjoy doing it. Tanks are always the hardest part. I do have some tips tho. Invest in a actual heat gun. It makes working with the wrap so much easier. You can pick up a cheap one at Amazon or a hardware store for $20-30USD. The difference it makes is night and day. I used a hairdryer for the Ninja which has a simpler tank than the MT. Yet had a easier time with the MT cause of the heat gun. I also use what is called cold stretching. It's were you use as little of the heat gun as possible. It is more time consuming, but you have less chance of the wrap warping. You can wrap stretch with just the heat from your fingers and friction. This will rub your fingers raw if you don't wear gloves, but I like to be able to feel what the material is doing. It's kinda up to you where and when you want to use the heat gun. Weird curves, line changes or to get bubbles out is the only time I use it. Hit the whole thing with the heat gun once you're done to make sure the adhesive is activated and you're good. I watched a vid from Adobo Moto and went to town. It's a little dry, but has a lot of good info.
Cheers for the cold wrapping tip, i reckon i might give that a try next time. In any case i think I’m going to be shying away from patterned abs textured vinyls in the future!
More patience than I, looks good. Did you see 5fours customer CB? www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/honda-cb1000r-5four/
Cheers mate! I did see that actually! Looks good, but for 17 grand, it looks dangerously like 1500€ worth of extras for 3000€!! ;D
Nicely done Andy, far more patience doing that than I'd have had... would def have gotten launched out a window if I'd been having a go! :D
Be interesting to see how you get on with attempt no2 when you get the chance :-)
Cheers mate. It was borderline for a while there! I always find this process incredibly nerve wracking! But turned out ok. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with round 2!!
How is the wrap holding up?
It held very well for almost 2 years, but then i took it off and sold the bike on.
great video! 99.99% of us are amateurs too, so we are happy to see you doing such a great job! It inspires us to try also! Have a great 2024!
Thanks very much Paulo. Give it a go, i say! It’ll only cost time and the vinyl really isn’t that expensive. Good luck!
Can you recommend the Avon Spirit ST?
Oh wait, I asked some time ago without any response. Well it's time to unsub and btw Roadtec 01SE are coming next.
I did answer!! It’s a 100% recommendation from me. They’re brilliant! I’ve already briefly tried the Roadtec SE‘s. They also seemed good for the few thousand km‘s i did. But they did seem to be already squaring off faster than the ST‘s and Road 5‘s did.
OK, really curious: If you still have the handlebar mount from the Versys, then what was attaching the handlebar when you sold it?
Haha! Good question! I stripped a bolt holding the clamp on to the top yoke, while i was changing the bars back to stock. While drilling it out, i destroyed one corner of the bar clamp! 🤦🏻♂️ So i had to replace it with an eBay special and kept the old one as a Souvenir!
I think Im just going to paint mine after watching that.... I would have dropped a match in it if it were mine.... 3rd degree burns worth it!!!
Haha! There were moments when i felt the same! It’s not for everyone, but at least it’s relatively cheap and reversible!
Good effort, tbh i didn't fancy your chances with the tank shape but still looks pretty good.... if you squint :)
Thanks CB. I was surprised too! Agreed with the squinting!
That looks great! A couple of hic-ups I wouldn't have noticed had you not pointed them out. Go ahead and forgive yourself then take the bike out for a spin
Thanks Alejandro. Done and done! 🙌🏻
"Super Slick Stuff" (brand) would have gotten that glue off in a simple wipe or two.
Good to know. Cheers!
Andy, what was the finishing strip you placed on the edge when it was done? Regular desk tape?
It was just a strip of the same stuff, cut to about 10mm thick.
You have done the imposible..i did not think that was possible..but you have done it..i have take the wrap throw it to the moon..
Haha! Thanks Mr Smith! It was a bit like looking at the soon to be scaled cliff face at the beginning!
I wrapped a Christmas present once, never again.
LMAO 🤣 😂 🤣
That's a whole different challenge! Too much tape makes it look overdone, not enough and it looks like yesterdays fish and chips!
andy,you obviously really,réálly love your cb-r..😉👍.r.e.s.p.e.c.t.
Yeah, she’s alright! Cheers John!
Great job ! Now all you need is classic Honda badges 🙂
"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any Honda badges."
Hell no! And the badges may well be less seen than the missing treasure!
Nice job! Were you able to put the R&G knee grips back on?
I actually didn’t bother until i finally removed the vinyl. But the replacement knee pads that i got from R&G suck just as well as the first set. I.e, they were off again within a week!
no kidding hats off to you Andy definitely not something would try lol
Thanks Leo! I just decided that i had nothing to lose to give it a crack!
Full marks for patience and the end result !
I would have definitely thrown it out of the window……….and have done so with some tricky wallpaper in the past.
So many different shapes and direction changes but such a lovely looking tank (sans badges 😉).
Enjoyed that one, many thanks 👍
i hope u do a better job with the wrap , you balled up the tank grips
Well aren’t you a real ray of sunshine! 😂
Brilliant job U did anyways. I am doing my car right now, and it is the first time I'm doing it, and I have quite a lot of mistakes. But if you don't try it you will never know. And I will do my car again in the future just to get better at it. Cause it is a fun thing to do! 🤙👍💪 brilliant mate!
That's the best way to learn! Glad you're enjoying it. I liked the finished result but HATED the process!! 😅
@@AndyManCam the process is hard but after time you understand the vinyl. Not that I fully understand but I'm getting there. I must have watched 200+ hrs of vinyl wrapping videos by now. But I will keep up doing it. But it did look class on the bike at the end! Brilliant 🤙💪
i would faff this wrapping beond any good, good job
Trust me mate, I was close at several points! :D
You Sir, have more patience than me!
Many hours of swearing, fuming and ranting to reach that patience level! The struggle is real! ;D
Amazed it came out as well as it did. I would definitely started crying half way through. 👍
Me too mate! I had my moments of considering chucking it down the stairs!
good job for a 1st time.....how long did it take u to do it?
Thank you Jalal. It was about 3 hours altogether i think.
God this was hard to watch! It must have been so hard not to get cross and annoyed. You did a great job in the end. I would have given up and put it in the bin. Well done for completing it.
It was, as ever, a challenge! This was probably the most difficult yet, so there was a fair bit of muttered swearing. Trust me though, the bin was always just a moment away!!
The Doris next-door, got Moore stretch marks 😛
Haha! I couldn't possibly comment!
Good job for a non professional 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks RC! But I’ll hold off on the wrapping career for the time being! 😄
Thanks for the demo, I have a 2018 cb1000 and the tank is showing its battle wounds so I’ve considered a repaint. But this looks like a great way to accomplish the same goal. I have a heat gun, the kind used for striping paint. Or in my case as a pastry chef for removing bon bons from their casting molds. But anywho, do you think it would be too aggressive for this job, or a nice upgrade from a hairdryer?
Anyway great channel, I’m enjoying all the cb content. I think I’m going to get some of those sw foot pegs you installed on the cb for added comfort. They look great!
Well done Andy, I would be crying and asking for my mum half way through any attempt at doing this. 👍
Haha! If it weren't for the cameras... ;D
I can see you really need patience of a saint for a rapping job. And apparently the better the quality of the vinyl the better quality of the Finnish. I say well done ole son. Good job.👍👍👍 If I could offer any tips. It would be to try using a soft cloth and or sponge on some of the difficult surfaces. And wherever possible, Less is More??
Absolutely Paul. The cheap stuff isn’t worth the plastic it’s made out of! Less is definitely more though. For me, that means less wrapping!! 😅
@@AndyManCam Andy I will say that your video has given me confidence to av a go.
Glad to hear it. Hope it all goes/went well. 👍🏻
Wow thats really impressive Andy! Top job!! Aaron Knox
Cheers Aaron! It turned out both better and worse than i was hoping/expecting!
I know that you have already wrapped the tank, but I'm assuming that the marks you talk about are rub marks on the fuel tank sides, hence why you put the R and G stuff on, but you can machine polish the marks out, as its only on the clear coat, much easier to look after than wrapping the tank like this....but each to their own.....👍👍
Yeah I think they are just in the clearcoat. This was more of an attempt to stop them getting any worse TBH. That it's happened after just 1 year of ownership despite me being pretty careful about zips and seams on the paintwork worried me a lot!
@@AndyManCam all metallic paints are the same Andy, they are water based these days, I'm a motorcycle detailer and I deal with this sort of thing on a daily basis...
I can imagine. Have you seen much paint coming off the engines of Hondas?
today I tried to wrap my Sportster Tank, I casted a spell twice, burned my fingers and burned the vinyl wrap. Looks so easy when you do it, but it really isn't. Will try again tomorrow
Ideally you should’ve pre stretched the vinyl and covered the top, then as you heat the sides it shrinks back and takes away a lot of that excess you were left with. You need to hit it afterwards to about 85-90 degrees to kill the memory so a heat gun and thermometer is essential. Good effort though
Andy did have to drain the gasoline out of the tank before you started the work on the tank ?
I siphoned all but a few drops out. Not least because I had to carry the tank up 5 flights of stairs to the kitchen!
Good thinking!
I remember you do like that by your bike before Kawasaki versys 👌👌
Good memory! That feels like a lifetime ago now!
Do you recommend emptying the tank before removal, or is the rag in the filler hole sufficient?
100% recommend draining the fuel. More due to the weight than the risk of fire! I had to carry it up 5 flights of stairs, so any weight saving was welcome. But even removing the tank from the bike is easier when it doesn't weigh an extra 16Kg or so on top of the weight of the steel!
@@AndyManCam Thanks Andy, I want to wrap a plastic tank and I ain't got no stairs, but sound advice nontheless. Your tank looks good from here, but I guess it depends on how much of a perfectionist you are!
I think most importantly, if you accidentally drop an empty tank, it's far less likely to destroy itself on the floor! Good luck with the wrapping mate!
When you're on vacation and sworn to give all social media a pass, and then an Andyman Cam video appears.......
Sorry Ted! I hope I didn't land you in any trouble with your promisees!
awesome job!!!!.. but I think the table was a big problem, next time try using a saw horse, mount you brackets to the saw horse, then the tank to the bracket on the saw horse, what way the table top is not stopping you from folding the wrap down, and around the tank.
I think your're right. I really needed a bit more clearance from the table to really get good access to the lower edges. We live and we learn!
@@AndyManCam I love you channel, and I'm sure you've heard this before especially from us Yanks you have an awesome voice and that makes your videos even that more enjoyable
@@SoloBlack313 Thank you very much! A face for radio eh?! 😜
Pretty amazing considering the multiple angles.
Thanks mate! It was a bit of a disaster of direction!
Seriously well done I put two clear tank protectors on my vstrom first side shit second side perfect went back to first side and ripped it off and through it in the bin.whats that saying a man on a galloping horse at 30 mph wouldn't be able to tell the difference 😂
The question I always have on these wrapping / mod videos is.. why? Why does he have a travel hair dryer?
The question you always have is ‚why does he have a travel hairdryer?‘ seems a bit specific 😜 In any case, the answer is because a travel hair dryer is what i have. The overall why question is explained in the intro to the video. To protect the tank while simultaneously giving it a brushed metal look.
@@AndyManCam hah sorry, the joke is a little less accurate atm but the last few videos I watched you in you were incredibly hairless - just struck me as funny that you have a travel hair-dryer :)
@@tenkasen Haha! Very good point! Naturally I had to swipe it from the Mrs when she wasn’t looking! The travel variety was easier to stash in the pocket!
why not wrap the entire tank including the silver stripe and 5 mm beneath and under the tank so you wont risk peeling?
Don’t mind the stretch marks mate. All the best girls have a few stretch marks. 😉
I wonder if it's from the same pulling and overstretching repeatedly of said "parts" :)
Haha! I don’t think we’re allowed to say things like that any more, but so true! 😂
Haha! Quite possible!
@@AndyManCam yeah, sadly we're not supposed to but how was that nice quote from the Matrix ? "To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human" (with some moderation/sanity of course :) )
Too true! Huzzah!
Dude, I'm here about the bikes, the scenery shown, the little tech tricks....but man I love your commenting. Dude , you're simple, not coming from money and you like what you are doing. I like it.
Thanks mate. I really appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching!
Your getting abit of a dab hand at this wrapping business Andy, one day might do me fazer 600 , quite like this colour , hopefully you might have left a link to were you got it ,,m cheers shane uk 🇬🇧
Cheers Shane. It could have gone a lot worse! Give it a crack mate. It’s a low risk endeavor that might surprise you!
For an amateur was not too bad, actually. But, tbh, I'm curious how the edges are holding since then.
1st, brushed look vinyls can be very challenging anyway, it must be tackled carefully to keep the lines nice and not distorted.
2nd, trying do wrap in one piece a bike tank is another big challenging job.
3rd practice is a good teacher 😉
If you want my advice, for a future wrap,
- place the tank on a stand, so it gives you access to work easily on the bottom,
- ask a friend for help, much easy to work in 2 (3 even better)
- heat the vinyl with a proper heat gun, to 50°
- pre-stretch the vinyl then place it on the top and try to mold it to the shape of the tank
- while you are doing this, be careful not to over-stretch the vinyl !!
- heat the vinyl on the recessed areas, so the memory of the film will shrink it back to the original state ( like this you won't have so much material to work with and trying to get rid of it)
- try not to over heat and keep stretching the vinyl, to avoid stretch marks and glue lines
- go with the vinyl under the tank so it gives you a inner peace that won't start to peel off with time.
Voila!
And another thing, when you are heating the material to stick it in a recessed area, don't stick it from the middle, as you will put too much tension in the vinyl. Instead work it in from the lowest tension point to the highest tension point. Hope it makes sense
Thanks. Good tips. I don’t think I’ll be doing it again in a hurry though! I did however watch on the official 3M tutorials that they recommended heating and then working from the middle of a recess outwards as this spreads the tension across the space, instead of causing it to ramp up the further you go.
@@AndyManCam yes, you are right about the recessed area. I was almost falling asleep when I was writing the comment 🙃
Haha! Not often I’m right about things like this!! 😅
Maybe try plasti dip spray.
That could be worth a go. I was keen to get the brushed look though.
Great Job , THX for sharing! ✌️
Where do you get the wrap and what size, please and thank you
Well I think you’ve done another great job Andy. I certainly would never have attempted that, far too much of a faff for me. It looks really good from the pictures on film. Why not just go the whole hog and have it resprayed with a decent finish by a good painter. Just a thought. Probably cost prohibited?
It's something I have considered TB. It would be pricey though. I've also considered having it professionally stripped, brushed and laquered to give a real brushed metal effect. Maybe ideas for a little further down the line.
Hey Andy’s this andy might try to wrap his bike soon
Good luck Andy! 🤞🏻
Why is your picture in ukrainian colors?
I don’t think i need to answer that.
@@AndyManCam i like the lybian and afgan flags more. I think they are better
Good results considering 1st attempt!
Cheers HG! YOu could certainly say that it went better than any of us were expecting!
@@AndyManCam I would have lost my rag 2 mins in and scrapped it!
And thats a Wrap! You did that so go I thought you had done it before. The shape of that tank is a problem. I have thought about doing my tank it has a bad jacket zipper scrach on it. But I would have to sand it smooth so it wouldn't show through the wrap? Replacement tank painted about $900.00. Anyway good job man!
I've had a few attempts on other bike bits, but this tank was the biggest challenge yet! I had a scratch on my FZ1 tank and it didn't show too badly through the wrap. Perhaps with a textured vinyl, it'll hide even more?
Looks pretty good to me.
Cheers Tim. It'll certainly do for now!
What a cracking job !!! I did my hubbies vespa panels.....they are hideous !!! I think you should be well pleased with that. I will redo his panels when ive earned more money for the swear tanker i filled 🤬
Haha! Thanks!
I’m about to wrap a Superduke tank and you gave me some confidence 🙏
Happy to help. Hope it went/goes well!
Looking at the shape of that tank, it really isn’t ideal for wrapping.
Worked with 3M Dinoc sheet a couple of times on architectural projects with flat surfaces….. a total nightmare. Brave effort and final result was a solid 85%. Welcome to the 80 percenters Andy., not perfect but good enough. :D
Absolutely not! It was a real challenge! I’m happy with 85% for now!
There is no way on God's green earth I would have even thought about attempting that mate! Very well done! @Thelikeablerider get your hand in your pocket and buy AMC a Weissbier!
I totally agree! A well earned cold one! Cheers mate!
Great result Andy. Deffo the type of job I would have f****d up due to lack of patience… Enjoy that pint 🍺
Patience is definitely the key here! I blocked out the whole day for this job and had the kettle at constant readiness!
Looks a great job in fairness. The difference removing the honda badge made was unreal, looked so much better without it.. You have the patience of a saint , i'd have ended up in the pub swallowing truckloads of Guinness...LOL
Cheers Mick! I totally agree with the badges. Even if I hadn't wrapped it, the badges needed to go anyway! A poor effort on Hondas part there! The guniess option doesn't sound too bad either though! ;D
I'd have left the Honda badges they add to the retro looks
Each to their own I guess. I found them cheap and plasticky and not at all retro. Had they been proper pressed metal or at least high quality plastic, things may have been different!
@@AndyManCam Really like this bike have to stick with the GS at my vintage now 🤫
Sadly my old joints are starting to tell me that i may have to be thinking in that direction soon too! 😅
Over all it looks pukka but it looks a nightmare to do, I definitely wouldn't have the patience Andy 🤣
It's definitely a nightmare! Thanks JF.
Hotter than Satan’s egg basket! Ahahahah
Haha! I’m so glad somebody spotted that!
@@AndyManCam ya do make I chuckle
Looks good that mate.
Thanks very much mate! I'm happy for now!
Good Job don't be so Critical my self failed every year by wrapping Christmas gifts so be proud of your self
Haha! At least with this vinyl you get a few attempts before it's ruined! One slip with the sellotape and you have to start over with the christmas presents!
I tried to do it once and threw it out the window :D
Nice job 👌🏾
Thank you! 😊
Excellent work.
I don't think you could have chosen a more difficult shape. Respect.
Good old cable ties, so many uses. Ask Mrs Traveller.
Looks really cool too.
Kalpa! As we say on Kronos.
Happy travels
You'Re right there! I told myself it would be easy while I was planning! But once on the table, it was way worse than first thought! Mrs Traveller sounds like a lucky lady! ;D
Keep it up!! Looks great, quick shifter time!! Haha only Honda mod worth the $$
Thanks John! I'm still not decided as to whether or not I want to put the quick shifter on. In any case, it wouldn't be the 800€ Honda unit! That's too many $$'s for my tastes! :D
Hard work!!!
Very much so! That’s why i don’t do these vids very often!!
Andy well done mate, i think Likeable rider needs to dig deep into his pocket especially after your fisrt attempt keep up the good work
Thanks Glenn! I shall enjoy that beer very much! :D
I'd a stomped on the whole fokkin thing 🤣🤣🤣 Big kudos to you Andy for keeping on going. Result not at all bad... better than the tank I'd 've left you with a size ten imprint in it out of pure frustration 🙃😁😉
I wanted to at about half way as well! Thanks mate and luckily no lasting temper damage to the paintwork! :D
Fair play mate it looks good, I tried wrapping a while back and gave up. Didn’t have the patience and through a hissy fit.
Patience is definitely the key! Mostly because for 90% of the time it looks like it couldn't possibly turn out good!
Admire your patience with jobs like this! Looks good too!
I wondered, what’s the screen you have? Is it specific for your Honda?
Thanks Haydn! Patience gained through years of simply learning to hide my burning rage! 🤣 The screen is from SW-Motech. They sadly stopped selling it for the CB, but it’s available for many other bikes.
I love it
Thanks very much egg!
Have you ever used plasti dip or any other spray wrap on your bike?
I used it on a helmet and it held up really well for 2 years.
I haven’t but it’s something I’ve considered. I’ll have to try it at some point.
my good god, i don't love any bike enough to try to tackle that manner of a faff job. Good on you for the patience and perseverance, better man than I.
Haha! I think that if it weren't for the videos and the resale value, I might have left it as well! ;D
Nice job Andy, I can't even put stickers on FFS. The tank looks so much better without the dumb ass stickers.
Haha! Cheers Mike. Practice makes perfect mate! 😉
Good effort Andy, looks good to me. The R&G pads looked a bit rubbish though.
Cheers john. I agree they don’t look the best. But i really missed the effect they give with gripping the tank while braking.
Thats not a bad job Andy, i think it would have been painful to watch the original footage, but the time lapse worked great. It looks a lot cleaner without the Honda logo on the tank. Your a brave man attempting this one, i would have given up within minutes i think :)
Thanks Phil 👍 Yeah the realtime experience was a bit arduous! Definitely way better without horrible plastic badges!
Good job Andy, how long did it take just to do the wrapping part, not including the prepping or removing and refitting of parts ?
Thanks Patrick. I think probably about 2 hours.
Shaun (TheLikeableRider) get your hand in your pocket and buy that man a pint, a bet is a bet. Top work fella and like most things in life, they say you get better at it the more you do it!!
Hear hear! Cheers Mark! Next time will be a belter… maybe!
Well done! - no way would I have had the patience for that...I would have taken the tank to be dipped or sprayed by a professional :-)
I barely did myself! :D Maybe a real brushed metal approach next!? That would be a job for a professional though!
Yeah know you're pissed about the stretch mark's but it looks good.
Thanks Lee. I'm just always a bit of a perfectionist and had hoped to create a pro job with amateur skills and equipment! I guess it'll definitely do for now though.
I must say you did a very good job for your first attempt. I tought this was going to be a disaster. he who dares he who dares
Cheers Gijsbert! I must admit that my hopes were also relatively low!
Not bad for your first attempt. It's just for protection so it doesn't have to be perfect. When you sell the bike peel it off.
You’re absolutely right. I can see that it has already deflected a few stones on the Austria trip, so that’s a win! 👍🏻
Nice job. I think the colour and finish of the vinyl wrap possibly highlight the imperfections. If you do it again, try starting at the back of the tank and work forward so that you're starting at a narrow point and working your way out.
Sadly youre absolutely right. Someone of my skill level should probably stick to plain colors and abstract patterns!
Splendid colour. You have a lto more patience than me. Two minutes in and I would have ripped it to shreds in anger.
Haha! I felt like that at times too mate! The colour is really cool though!
@@AndyManCam It certainly looks it in the video.
Thanks for posting. You are a more patient person than I am. In my case, the vinyl would have ended up all balled up and in the trash.
My pleasure mate! Thanks for joining in with the torture with me!
