Restoring A Rusted Out Motorcycle Fuel Tank

Рет қаралды 7,803

I take this scrap Yamaha FS1M fuel tank that has rusted out on the bottom seams and decide to restore it as a Man Cave item. I repair the holes with silver solder rods, Fill and prep the tank and finish off with the correct colour and the new decals buried under 3 coats of 2k lacquer. Enjoy.

Beautiful job, especially since the tank is basically the focal point of a bike. Those old painted metal tanks are way better looking than plastic.

Do you know anything about isopon zinc 182 anti rust primer. I bought a tin on ebay and when it arrived it was six months out of date but the seller said it will be ok because he worked in a body shop. So when I used it I think I painted over kurust and the stuff wasn't sticking and it seemed really thick to use.

@retrorestore Жыл бұрын

Paint doesn't like to stick directly over rust products I have found the same with the Vactan rust treatment I use.

When you had fitted the decal, what did you use to clean of the tank before laquer?

@retrorestore 14 күн бұрын

panel wipe.
