I'm thinking about leaving it this way for that "unique" look ;D

Incredible craftsmanship! How long did that take?
;D
Chromo look out...here comes the Ducati Foilo!
Took about 5 minutes. Hoping there's enough interest that I can market this. Maybe as an "anti expansion" mod. It reflects heat and therefore less expansion.

If you could get all the wrinkles out of it, you could market it as a Chromo knock-off ;D
Hadn't thought of that. Hey, you think I should patent it so nobody would try to make their own?
What you have there.... its...
really...um ...somethin'.
You'll never get that 5 minutes back you know.
I'm considering sending my pristine Cromo tank to you for the foil treatment!
I think you need to make a tin foil helmet to go with. [thumbsup]

Them from reading your thoughts...and you know who I'm talking about......
Yeah they already infiltrated my gas tank with ethanol.
From FHE. unubtainium is the best material to keep "Them" at bay. Very difficult to find though. :-\

silver skinned martians approve [thumbsup]
That's it! That's what I need to balance the black on my bike!
This is an interesting forum. Dude spends 5 minutes wrapping his tank in aluminum foil and gets 12 replies to his thread.
I spend 2 full days repainting my tank (having never painted anything before) to make it look magnificent and get 3 posts on my build thread. Something is wrong here.
Ok I feel a little better now.

A monkey can paint a tank.
To conceptualize and execute what this gifted fellow did is beyond comprehension! Brilliance is the first word that comes to mind.
Sherlock, how long have you been aware of your exceptional talent?
Duuuuh..... I dunno, I was born at an early age.

And you just added to the hit count. ;)

Was wondering when you'd show up!
I didn't say "well"!
:-*
If we think it looks good now....
.....wait till it comes out of the oven!
Sherlock,
What cooking time do you recommend, and should you baste half-way through with a little unleaded?

Couldn't fit it in the oven and because of the combustable nature of gasoline, chose to use oil circulating space heater in the shop as my heat source. Basted with caswell's tank sealer and cooked for 48 hours.
