    After seeing yours I'm goin to have to get started on mine. Yours is looking good especially with the white fenders. What front tire and rim are you running, I really like the looks of it.

    Got body work done, primed, blocked, and then painted. I wet sanded the tank and let it dry in the sun so I could then buff the finish and two bubbles appeared.

    I had to strip those two spots back down to bare metal. For some reason the filler did not stick, I think the filler 90guy put on it was not compatible with the materials I used.

    Here are pics of the tank post paint. I will still need to wet sand and buff the finish and apply the decals.

    I recognize those tires and wheels. I think they look great on this project!!

    Tank repaint x 3

    I have had some problems with getting this tank done, I painted and reworked it three times, but I am done no more I give....It will get shipped this week. Some parts just fight you every step of the way.

    Finished as seen above then something in the base layer bubbled. Then NAPA gave me the wrong hardener, and mix ratio and finally what you see. I applied the decals on Friday took the tank into the EBAY room and noticed today there are bubbles under the decals. I am not sure if it the paint is out gassing, but I am not messing with it. 90guy is going to ride it so thrash away buddy!!

    First pic is the day I painted it, I do not have a spray booth, and of course the wind was up and a bug flew into the fresh paint. Luckily the bug is under the decal.

    I am curious, you buy your paint at NAPA as in the auto parts store? I am not cutting them down I just didn't know they were into paint like that.

    Living in surprise the closest auto body supply is Glendale or deer valley. Napa on greenway mixes automotive urethane paints. I do not see driving to Mesa for what I can get local. However thanks for the link, next time I am in Mesa I will stop in, that place looks great, wish it were closer. NAPA carries what is the same as sherwin williams brand paint just branded as martin-senour. I have been painting as a hobbyist for 27 years. I rarely have had an issue until I went with single stage paint. This job has convinced me to go back to two stage paint.
