Restoration of a 200x tank (lots of pics)

[BigReds Forever]

Welp, i decided yesterday to start the work on my 200x tank. So far its going ok, got it mostly stripped, and all the dents pulled as much as there going to. Found a few pin holes which have to be filled, and welded up an area by the mounts that was cracked. gotta finish a little stripping and get some filler now. Does anyone know what brand of paint the said "Shasta" white is? Or does anyone know a close match with ppg paint? I can get ppg at cost so thats what ill be using. I was just going to match it to my plastic, but i dont have it yet. Heres some pics of the work.

Color-rite.com may have the paint code.

You can get the honda paint code and paint suppliers can match it. I use that method when I did my BR and the PPG paint supplier mixed me up some.

TOLD YA!!

I wil see if I stil have a paint code I use martin senour paints, and ppg can possibly cross reference the code.

welp, slow going but I thought id post some progress pictures from a bit ago. first pic is the tank basically striped. 2nd and 3rd are with all the holes filled and most dents straitened out. last is the tank primed. There are still a few little imperfections near the welded areas and such, but a little filler will straiten them out. Paint is gonna be black so ill have to make sure its perfect before I paint.
