                Get a junk tank and strip it and practice. Fails are just experienced lessons. None of us was good at first.Goof up..strip it again and keep going

                  Unfortunately, I have 2 tanks needing dents removed and painted. A '78 GS1000 and a '82 GS1100E. Color matching is my biggest issue. All the tanks I have done previously were rattle can jobs. Guess I need to get the spray gun out and practice. I might be a little better at it by next spring!

                    Just what we've been waiting to see. Congrats, it does look good... bet it may fetch $ 100 or maybe more if you decide to sell it

                        Looks great, Chuck.
                        Noticed the red S tank lurking in the background in the second pic. Once you get this one cleared and the bike assembled it would be great to see a pic of the two of them together.

                                It looks fantastic Chuck. I'm glad I gave it to someone who did something with it instead of trashing it.
