    Cheers Michael. I will post up what and how I’m doing each stage of this revamp.
    Next stage is to start rubbing the tank down.. I’m using a scotch pad on a drill this time, although the tank is in good condition, there are a lot of scratches in the paint that have been botched up before! Although it’s a lot more work these need to be sanded our right down to the metal again!

    Also any little bump or blemish has to be sanded right back,as some are tiny rust spots under the paint!:-(

    Getting there it’s hard work but I’m sure it will be worth it in the end.

    Didn’t think I would be getting this far today, but I’ve just got some body filler in that small dent that was left. Hopefully I can get that rubbed down today and there is a small chance I could start getting some paint down?

    Let’s hope I can get the same colour and finish as I did last time. 🙂

    I Love this color.. It is very satisfying as it goes on..it sits really nice if you get it right, but it’s a pain in the arse when it starts to go wrong!

    Let’s hope it can keep going on like this!

    Well you will be glad to know.. That’s it off me today… Managed to get three coats of paint down on the tank and the tail piece. I have to let it bake off in the sun now for a few hours.
    Then it will need a fine 1200 grit or higher to Flat the paint off before either more paint or lacquer..
