    Painting tank on 1979 gs750

    I started this project last summer and it has been fun and frustrating. The tank on this bike belongs on a yamaha and was made to fit. Somebody customized the bike several years ago. I digress. I had the tank painted but that paint got ruined when I had it off it tipped over and sat in gas all night. I stripped the tank and started over. I am using plasticote paint this year as I have heard good things about that brand. So far I have fixed a dent in the tank and have it in primer now. Pictures to follow....20200322_083619.jpg

      I figured I should show a before pic of the tank. Found out the hard way I have been using the wrong type of paint

        Order a can of 2k clear on eBay at about 20 bucks a can. You won't have to worry about gas ruining it again. It sprays over almost anything. Krylon, Duplicolor, Rustoleum, etc.
