What kind of finish is on the Dark S2R's tanks?  Is there some sort of satin clear coat, or nothing at all?  I have never actually been around a dark Duc before. 

I always heard it described as eggshell.  There is no clear coat on it.

So the tank badge is just a stick on?

Yup, laminated cast vinyl. I peeled mine off the day I bought it.

Does it just peel off? I'm replacing it with your laminated one and need to know if I have to use a hair dryer.

It will peel off, but leave adhesive. Use Goo Gone or a similar citrus adhesive remover to remove it. Spray the area, then let it sit for thirty seconds. If you don't let it sit you'll smear a lot of adhesive around. Once it has sat, scrape the excess adhesive off with a credit card. Once that is removed spray the area again and wipe off the remaining adhesive. Clean up the area with alcohol or windex and you're good to go.

Thanks!!

Artful, I though I read somewhere that you made signs or something.  Do you also do tank decals?

I do a pretty wide variety of custom work, PM me if you have a project idea. Tank decals are definitely something I dabble in  [thumbsup]

Cool, I will hit you up with a couple of ideas later this evening.  Thanks.

hey dude, I'm still trying to decide on the tank decal for my Monster.  I'm thinking of just that original decal I had posted on the T-shirt that I showed you.
