Tank Spray Paint Job! New pictures on page 2
Hi all- This is a great site with great people, thanks- I've been wanting to paint my tank for some time now and figured I'd just go for it. I got a tank for 20 bucks on ebay. I bondo'ed it and primed it then I descided on a design (kind of a speed racer/triumph looking thing). I got some spray on glitter black from the hardware store then I airbrushed some xylene based gold leaf craft paint. I own a little art store in california and made some decals (with the yamaha tuning forks on them) using a product called grafix Rub-Onz. The thing that I think made it all work was the SprayMax 2k topcoat. It is a 2 part spray in a can and put a coating on that I couldn't believe. (it also gave me a headache that lasted a couple of days) So definately wear a respirator like the instructions say. Here are some pictures of the process. I will post more picture with the tank on my bike. I think it turned out great for my first attempt at painting a tank- enjoy-
