Photos of new tank paint :D

Nice job! but don't you get burned by the exhaust?
How many builds now?

I have painted a couple of tanks myself- usually the gas still will make the paint tacky when much comes in contact- so get used to that- not much of a problem though-

I'd generally prefer a chrome tank and have one on one of the two builds-

but the paint really does seem to give the tank a little more strength otherwise- they dent easier without it- try to save some paint and you can just keep putting it on

I'm hoping someone will put out some decent one to two liter liter PLASTIC tanks, and there could EASILY be several different styles, to fit where the tear is now-

or UNDER the bar- one for most cruisers
one for diamond frames- really make things lighter-
the kit CAP especially is a weighty item on a bicycle-
I could generally get by with a tank the size of a waterbottle- a large one especially

they have some on ebay that would be hard to mount on a bike- but it's only just PLASTIC and could be easily maufactured I think

Just shows me that the corporate conglomerate is really sorta soft-peddaling our activity and hobby- they'll take our money for what is already around-

they just don't want to get to innovative or PRACTICAL

they make an apoxi clear spray that works for fuel tanks -not cheap http://www.eastwood.com/spray-max-2k-high-gloss-clearcoat-aerosol.html

Not many clearcoats will stand up to gasoline. Especially if they haven't cured for a good long time.

Here's a better price on the Spray-MAX 2k CLEARCOAT paint
It goes on smooth as silk and dries like glass.
It contains isocyanates which is deadly and you MUST use an approved respirator.

(Tom) 2 door recommends this stuff in clear which is safer to use but I know it is also fuel resistant
