    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Nice! :cool:
And the link to what you used and how you applied it is?

how did you keep the cans that you sprayed from from gumming up and spraying big globs on the paint job like mine?
 
You have to be diligent about keeping the sprayer nozzle cleaned out because they will clog up and start spurting on you. Very annoying.

Usually it just splatters for me when I stick my finger in the spray. Also?I just wanted to note how beautiful these tanks look when painted a solid color. They have a very nice shape. I never noticed the nice shape and size of the tank before I owned one as I was too distracted by the ever popular two tone brown paint scheme. I like yours much better!
 
I'm not sure what shape the tank was stock so can't comment on the reshaping, but man that colour is great! Love it!

The little bit of aerosol spraying I've done (did my tins with 2 pack and a gun) I haven't had trouble with clogging up, but I've tried to use at least reasonable quality aerosols and have always cleaned the nozzle by holding it upside down and spraying for a few seconds after each coat.

I also do a quick spray on the drop cloth or whatever before starting the next coat.
 
Now that you mention it, I see it! You not only filled in the space for the emblems, but also filled in by the collar and softened the edges around the gas cap. Nice work!
 
between tack coats and the gas off cycles, have a cap of laquer thinner handy and pull the nozzle and rinse it out. Blow some air thru it and replace back on the can. Keeps it clean .
