This past weekend, I finished stripping the gas tank and got primer and paint on it...

The tank is still in pretty bad shape. Whats left is clear coat, lots of sanding, then buff and polish. The process is this:

-First I will put 3 or 4 coats of clear coat on (hope to do that today) and let that cure for a couple days.

-Next I will get 1500 grit sand paper and wet sand (water + detergent for lather) the tank to a nice even dull sheen.

-After the sanding there is special compound used to remove 1500 grit sanding. This will be polished on and should give it that "wet" look.

-Final step is a few passes with a buffing pad.
