Before you make or buy decals do some research on decals on plastic fuel tanks. I learned the hard way. I had decals made for mine and after a few days the bubbles started forming. The decals didn't last long. I think there's vented material that works ok. DEET may know, his looks good.

I believe “speed & sport” makes decals called “wicked tough” made especially for plastic fuel tanks, the plastic fuel tanks “breathe & gas” through the plastic which causes the graphics to fail. Their decals are perforated and have a metal backing, there are some you tube videos on their installation process. I personally don’t have any experience with their products.

IF any of you ferment beverages, then you'll know plastic is permeable... Vapor WILL pass either way through it..

You make beer? I like beer. It was 10 - 11 years ago when I learned my lesson about decals on plastic fuel tank. I'm sure there's a lot of new cool stuff now.

The decals and the paint all bubbled on the plastic tank from out-gassing.
But just like bubble wrap, it was fun to pop them!

Wicked tough may be wicked tough or not. I followed all instructions on a YZ400 tank, and they do look good. But, after following all of their installation instructions on a tank that has really never been filled anywhere beyond 1/4 full, the decals still lift.
Could still be something I did wrong, but just saying...after time didn't stay stuck for me.

Eh, I may forgo the decals. Now I just need to decide on the color of the tank.
