Mine was dented in the front to start with from a crash, but i banged out the crease and made it work. The surf board tape is the $hit too.....

its all about the prep bro....i used to work in a body shop....i kinda know what im doing lol
but duplicolor sprays just like a gun..nice fan spray...that tank has almost 2 cans on it..and then a can of clear..it looks a mile deep in the sun

Re: bondoed tank pics
 

ya.. its a work in progress... i'm not sure how i should shape it... i see some people have like a circle cup in theirs.. but i'd think that that would hurt the back of your thighs... i was thinking to just have the a$$ part and make the rest smooth

it still has much work that needs to be done but its getting there...

What kind of paint did you use on the plastics? same stuff or plastic paint? Also what kind of clear? :LOL Im doing my bike over and Im going to go with that instead of krylon fusion.

Re: bondoed tank pics
 

i use dupli color....by far the best rattle can out there...and if you want a good clear to hold...you can either spray 2 cans of clear over the tank or buy some real clear..like valspar
and any of the shake shake from duplicolor will work..the green i have is actually engine enamel lol

Re: bondoed tank pics
 

flat black....i used that sand style paint on my gsxr but i need to move around in and out of hc and whatnot

Re: bondoed tank pics

That's pretty good for rattle can. I did my whole bike in Krylon Fusion and I wasn't pleased with the results. I think I'll do it over with the Dupli Color.
