    Honestly fellas I don't want a brand new tank. I'm not restoring this bike because it's in pretty good shape and I don't want to have a brand new tank when it's not going to match the rest of the bike. I bought a used tank off of ebay and it has a few dents in it but the inside is super clean and What I actually wanted to do (possibly) is maybe make the tank that I bought look used and match the rest of the bike. I thought if I could find a paint match maybe I could fix the dent and paint it and then scuff the tank up some maybe with some scotch brite pads or rough it up a little before it dries fully. Hell I don't know but I've got an old rusted tank I can practice on if I can find the paint match. Now I'm fully aware that this brilliant idea could possibly turn into a shattered dream. Lol

    Do a search here on the forums. There's about 30 threads started on similar paints to Honda Passion Red. If you want it to match exactly, drop the extra $20 on a spray can of the correct paint from your local paint store or online at Colorite. Otherwise, it's going to look how it's going to look. There's no exact match.

    It's also not very difficult to use filler on dents. You just need to prep it correctly and use correct technique.
