New tank paint job
Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2012 9:11 am
Ive had a spare fuel tank oiled and sealed for a while and with a new take on the origional scheme..
With some new decals that i had made up and collected them on friday..i had five sets cut..so now have four sets spare...will put them available in the 'for sale ' section.
The silver aluminium misting was masked in after first applying the black metallic base coat...then the decals, and about 3 coats of clear with the hardener..[in 2 pac metallics, the colour is like a powder and the clear has the hardener which locks the whole lot down]....the clear also locks the decals down and makes the smooth flow feel over the stickers when the lot dries...handle time about 6 hours....if it turns out right, its very satisfying...it if turns out right..
