    Bringing life back to old plastic

    tank on my 250r is pretty faded and dont feel like spending the money on a new one, has anyone ever attempted to completely sand one down until smooth again?

    You could always send it to Mr. Clean. His plastic tank refurbishing is second to none. Many threads about his tanks. I have pasted one below for your perusal.
