zoolord Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 what ever it is the body shop will remove it, and sand back to the sound metal. Once there is a good base they will paint over that.. so no need to worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penno350 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 ok mate nice one thanks The paint was possibly bubbling because fuel was leaking from the tank. Probably worth checking it's fuel-tight before spraying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pschrauber Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 whys that then??????? Powder coating a gas tank is beyond the good manners I guess. The tank of a bike is well let's call it the face of a nice girl. Hopefully that statement and the one to come will not get me in any trouble).( Only very little make-up can improve the appearance but putty is the opposite.
