Its been about a month since painting and is holding up well with a full tank most of the time, time will tell I guess.The hot tanking was done by a place in Chicago called Cool-Heat. They did a great job cleaning it and after I JB welded the very small hole they pressure checked it at something like 50psi and it did not leak. My complaints are they took a week to do it after they told me 2 days and they didn't let the excess sealer out which ended up on my bike and garage floor. I paid 60 bucks but do not recommend them as they were not very professional at all and did not finish the job. I think your probably going to have to repaint the tank if your going to take care of the rust properly. If its heavily rusted inside its likely that some of it is working through the tank. If you don't the rust will eventually take care of your paint and your tank. I got lazy with mine and let someone else do it and regret it, I could and would have done a better job myself. I should have only let them clean it and took care of the sealing myself as no one will take more care of your stuff than you. Besides what bike doesnt look great with new paint!
