    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Here's a rattle can job i did on a tank. I thought it looked good, but as soon as gas touched it, screwed.

Nice!
What kind of paint?
Make sure you let it cure somewhere warm for a couple days.
 
My best friend did it for me with Rustoleum...lots of coats and lots of sanding!

It's been curing since at least December. I dripped a bit of gas on it, but wiped it off right away. It didn't effect anything. Hopefully it stays that way for a while.
 
Gas spills seem to be a real problem on home-done paint jobs. To my knowledge there are no clearcoat products in a spray can that are up to the job.

My own solution, prior to having the tank resprayed by a local bodyshop, was to use a tankbag 100% of the time. The paint by the gas cap got screwed up but the bag covered it. Pretty slipshod, led to the professional job. Ten years later though, I have to have it done again.
