My Fuel tank could really do with a coat of paint as the old owner has
used something on it that looks like stone chip

I was thinking about using Plasti-Kote Satin Black..

Anyone else tried this ?

Or can i use some kind of paint remover ?

..

 

being plastic mate its hard to know what to use, id be in thinking that it would crack and chip badly will if you lived in ireland it would damm roads, but the man to ask is Mart redrsmk5 he painted his, turned out lovely

 

AlexD: Please let us know what you came up with because i just rubbed my tank today, ready for paint also.

 

Mine's got the stone chip stuff on it too. Perhaps it was factory?

 

Might be.. going to rub it down some more then paint it see what it looks like i think.

Sprayed mine a couple of months ago with some Satin Black paint, came up trumps and is still looking fresh now - especially with the stainless tank straps fitted.

 

Yup Going to give the satin black a try sunday i think..

 

Have you painted the tank yet AlexD?

 

Not yet Trying to get the underside of the car painted 1st

 

problem is if its out like a plastic bike tank the paint will bubble after a while due to it being breathable unless you can find a paint that is breathable to which i dont know of any
