Motorbike Paint Protection
Bike Paint Protection Designed for real Riding Conditions
Motorbikes experience far harsher exposure than most cars. Paintwork sits closer to the road, closer to the sun, and closer to the rider. It encounters constant wind blast, road debris, fuel spills, insect acids and UV exposure from every angle. Even careful riding and garage storage cannot prevent gradual wear.
That is why motorbike paint protection is essential for riders who want to preserve the appearance and value of their bike.
Gentek provides advanced bike paint protection solutions using ceramic and graphene coating technology developed for Australian conditions. Our coatings safeguard painted fairings, tanks, side covers and exposed painted surfaces, helping maintain gloss, colour and clarity no matter where you ride.
Whether your bike is brand new, a weekend toy, a commuter, a restored classic or a touring machine, bike paint protection delivers long-term defence without changing the look or feel of your motorcycle.
Why motorbike paint protection matters
Unprotected paint gradually loses gloss and depth, especially on darker colours. Tanks and fairings often show wear first due to constant rider contact and heat exposure.
Motorbike paint protection creates a durable layer over your factory clear coat. This layer acts as a sacrificial barrier between your paint and the environment, helping resist fading, etching and contamination buildup.
The result is simple: your bike continues to look like your bike — just newer, for longer.

Ceramic and graphene bike paint protection explained
Gentek uses premium ceramic and graphene coating technologies formulated to bond directly to motorcycle paint. These coatings create a thin, transparent layer that is:
Hydrophobic (repels water and dirt)
UV resistant
Chemically resistant
Highly durable
Visually clear and glossy
Once cured, the coating becomes part of the surface structure rather than a film sitting on top. Unlike waxes or temporary sealants that wash away quickly, ceramic and graphene bike paint protection provides long-term performance.
What Services Does Gentek Offer?
What surfaces can be protected?
We can apply motorbike paint protection to:
Painted fuel tanks

Motorbike riders benefit most from protection
Bike paint protection is ideal for riders who:
Park outdoors or commute daily
Ride coastal roads or long-distance
Own premium or limited-edition models
Are restoring or preserving collectable bikes
Frequently tour in hot Australian conditions
Want to maintain resale value
A motorcycle is not only transport—it is personal. For many riders, the bike is a passion purchase. Protecting the finish is about pride of ownership as much as it is about value preservation.
The application process for motorbikes
Surface preparation is the most important step in motorbike paint protection. Coatings bond best to clean, decontaminated and properly prepared paintwork.
Our typical process includes:
- full wash-down to remove surface dust and grime
- chemical decontamination to remove bonded fallout
- clay bar treatment if required
- machine polish or hand polish of smaller panels
- panel wipe to prepare the surface
- ceramic or graphene coating application
- curing and quality inspection
Because motorcycle panels are often smaller and more detailed than car panels, careful hand-finishing and precision application are critical. Our process is designed around accuracy, not speed.
Does bike paint protection prevent scratches?
It is important to be clear and realistic.
Motorbike paint protection:
Helps resist surface swirl marks
Reduces wash-induced scratching
Offers some resistance to surface scuffs
However, no coating makes paintwork completely scratch-proof. Deep abrasions, stone chips and impact damage can still occur. Honest expectations lead to better long-term satisfaction.
What protection does do exceptionally well is reduce the everyday wear that makes bikes look tired before their time.
Maintaining your bike after paint protection
Caring for a protected motorcycle is simple and because the coating is hydrophobic, normal washing becomes faster and easier. You spend less time working on the bike and more time riding it.
Avoiding abrasive polishing compounds.
Wiping away bug splatter soon after rides.
Immediate removal of fuel spills.
PH-Balanced cleaning products.
Gentle hand washing.
Benefits of bike paint protection
Riders choose motorbike paint protection for three main reasons: appearance, durability and ease of cleaning.
Many owners find they wash their vehicles less frequently after graphene protection is applied, and the washing process is faster when they do.
Fuel tank protection — a key priority
On most bikes, the fuel tank suffers the fastest wear. It is constantly in contact with:
Jacket zips
Tank bags
Gloves and sleeves
Belt buckles
General riding movement
Bike paint protection adds a sacrificial layer over the clear coat, helping to reduce fine scratching and surface marring caused by normal riding.
For high-contact riders or sport bikes, we highly recommend Gentek's ceramic graphene coating for maximum defence.
Frequently asked questions
What is motorbike paint protection?
Motorbike paint protection is a ceramic or graphene coating applied to your motorcycle’s painted surfaces to protect against UV, chemicals, staining and everyday wear.
Is bike paint protection worth it?
Yes. It helps preserve gloss and colour, simplifies cleaning and maintains paint quality, especially in harsh Australian riding conditions.
Can paint protection be applied to new bikes?
Absolutely. Applying protection early is ideal, preserving factory paint from the beginning.
Will protection stop stone chips?
Coatings help reduce surface abrasion but do not stop high-impact stone chips. Additional film protection may be recommended for high-risk areas.
Does protection change the look of my bike?
No. It is completely transparent and enhances gloss without altering colour or finish.
Protect your bike’s with Confidence
Your motorbike is exposed every time you ride. Motorbike paint protection ensures that exposure does not shorten the life or quality of your paintwork.
With Gentek’s advanced bike paint protection coatings, your motorcycle keeps its gloss, its depth of colour and its visual impact for longer — without constant polishing or waxing.
