Tank

[degrom]

Hi everyone,

Just a few quick questions, in the process of giving my bike a paint job, and just wondering if its safe to use paint stripper on the tank, and if so whats the right stuff to use?

Also, after I emptyed out the tank I noticed quite a bit of rust on the bottom of the tank, with some of the metal flaking off eaisily with a screwdriver. Not good. What the best way to deal with this problem?

Cheers,

Stefan

You can use this for the rust...
http://www.por15.co.nz/POR15Prod/motorcyclekit.htm

It's a special kit made for fixing up rusted tanks... It is a 3 step system where you first clean it(Get the rust flakes out), de-rust it and then seal it.

You can also order online if you want.(They have a list of distributors also)

Some of the other amazing things they sell is a paint you can use for your frame or chassis. The paint is so chip resistant you can even hit it with a hammer to test it.

They also stock a range of proper engine enamels...

Good luck with the tank.
