    Watched your video a couple weeks ago trying to find ideas for how to fix a dent in my tank that also was deep and creased. I had to stop back by and thank you for putting this up! I am following the same steps and have to say that the results have been fantastic! Thanks for helping me out and great work!!

    7 years late but.. This video is as straight-forward as they get. This gave me the confidence to give fiberglass a try for myself and just with watching the video through it was all the help you could ask for. Thanks

    If you look up the word "Craftsmanship" in the dictionary, they should have your name. This is the most incredible work I've ever watched. Couldn't stop watching your videos on repairing this motorcycle! I tried painting the front fairing on my 2014 Indian Chieftain and after painfully messing it up, I found your videos. Wish I had even a small portion of your talent. Absolutely fantastic work. You should be proud.

      Im glad i found your channel. I am a 64 year old cancer patient. My main ride wasa zrx1100 until i got sick and had to retire. Recently my son gave me the honda vtr250 interceptor. Your demeanor is very similar to his. He is a bmw/ktm/honda/royal enfield/triumph certified tech...with a great art gift like yours. His gift to me and finding your channel are an amazing blessing! Keep up the great work!
      Oh...i still have the zrx1100...hoping to ride it again one day.

    That's a good way to take care of a situation like that. I wish you would have posted this a month ago. I had a passenger side rocker panel creased to deep to pull out , even with a stud welder. I had to cut out the top part and make a special tool for my air hammer and knock it out from the inside. It worked great but look at the time it took making the special tool and welding the cut out plate back! Man, this looks the way to go for me in the future in this particular situation ..... Your body work and shaping looked good too ! Keep up the good work .... Thanks for posting...

    • @SprayWayCustoms
      @SprayWayCustoms  Před 8 lety

    @Mikefngarage Před 6 lety

    that is a good idea for a deep one because sometimes you just cant push it out with a paintless dent removal bar. thick plastic would fall off or kitty hair. using the foam to build it out would definitely work

    Man awesome job on the repair work and the paint. I have only heard of this, but many people have told me to put water in the tank, and freeze it. The water expands naturally when frozen and some people even said it came out perfect and needed no body work afterwards. Your tank may have needed a few times in the freezer, but worth a try before what seemed like a lot of work. what do you think.

    So I have a similar dent on my motorcycle tank and want to try this method but my real question is would this work on a larger scale? I have a 93 chevy s10 and there is a massive dent in the rear quarter panel (the metal is way to thick to pull the dent out I tried and failed) but would foam and fiber glass work on a 3 foot by 2 foot area without becoming to stressed and failing?

    • @SprayWayCustoms

    never seen this method, but you made it happen, tuning in for the wet wet, quick questions was the primer epoxy or 2k?

      I never seen it done either CJ but since I been working with fiberglass I figured you can form up anything ....I sprayed epoxy first
