Abstract: A motorcycle and automobile gas tank paint protector preferably includes two scratch-resistant fabric pieces, a water/gasoline-resistant inlay, an internal protective ring, and a fabricated gas tank screw-in connector with an attached outer ring to insert gas nozzle. A gas tank hole opening is formed through the fabric, a protective inlay and inner protective ring between the two said fabric pieces thereof. The fabric pieces and inlay are preferably attached to each other on the outer perimeters thereof and the perimeter of the gas opening with stitching or any other suitable method. The gas tank paint protector is assembled with the connector screw-in piece, placed in the gas tank opening such that the connector piece can be screwed in the opening of the gas tank, fill the gas tank and removed. The gas tank paint protector may be folded and stored by inserting into a well air-ventilated canister or pouch.
