howieleem Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I need a new tank for the Sherpa T 199 i'm restoring. Have looked at the plastic tanks that Bultacouk sell which are in a matt finish. Were the tanks originally in a matt finish, or should i spray the tank to a gloss finish?

legs Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Bultaco plastic tanks where always matt, you wont paint a plastic tank phone Bultaco Uk and they will explain why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Howie, The tanks with the matt finish are the plastic tanks and cannot be painted (well..) but the glossy ones, of the type in the picture I sent you. are fibreglass. Very few 199's were supplied with the fibreglass tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
