Motorcycle fuel tank spraying is a great way to refresh damaged paintwork or create a completely different look for a bike.
For this project, we refinished a Yamaha motorcycle fuel tank in a deep gloss black finish, complete with custom Black Widow Edition graphics and Yamaha detailing.
Gloss Black Yamaha Fuel Tank Finish
The main colour chosen for this tank was a deep gloss black.
A high-gloss finish works particularly well on motorcycle tanks because the curved surface reflects light across the panel and helps give the paintwork more depth.
Careful preparation was important before any colour was applied. Motorcycle fuel tanks can show even small imperfections once a gloss finish goes on, so getting the surface right beforehand makes a big difference to the final result.
Custom Black Widow Graphics
The customer also wanted the tank to have a more individual appearance.
White Yamaha branding was combined with Black Widow Edition lettering and spider graphics on the sides of the tank.
The contrast between the white graphics and gloss black paint creates a simple but striking finish.
Custom Motorcycle Paintwork
Motorcycle parts are ideal for custom paintwork because relatively small changes can completely alter the appearance of the bike.
Depending on the project, we can refinish a range of motorcycle components, including:
- Fuel tanks
- Fairings
- Side panels
- Mudguards
- Engine covers
- Trim panels
- Motorcycle frames and brackets
- Other removable bike parts
We can work with standard colours, custom finishes and decorative effects depending on the look required.
Motorcycle Tank Spraying and Refinishing
A good finish starts well before the colour coat.
The condition of the existing tank, previous paintwork and any damage all need to be considered before refinishing begins.
Once the preparation is complete, the tank can be primed, painted and finished to suit the required appearance.
For projects like this Yamaha tank, a gloss clear coat also helps protect the graphics while creating a smooth finished surface.
