Title: Tank Painting - Recomendations Post by: arai_speed on August 24, 2008, 12:51:54 PM Hey guys/gals, I plan on having my tank (it's pearl white now) re-painted and wanted to know who you guys have used and how much did it run you? The tank I have now has a few scratches that I would like to get fixed and a new coat of paint might be just what's needed.
Thanks! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Tank Painting - Recomendations Post by: c_rex on August 24, 2008, 12:57:20 PM send it to Nate. he did mine and I get drool slopped on my bike every time I take it out. PM him (ducpainter) for details.

PM him (ducpainter) for details. I emailed him, got an initial response, I followed up twice after that and never heard back from him hence my post. I'm sure Nate does great work but there's got to be other places/people to get stuff painted. Thanks! Title: Re: Tank Painting - Recomendations Post by: He Man on August 24, 2008, 04:10:53 PM Your tank...is worth money to some people who want an OEM white tank. Why dont you sell it and buy a crashed tank to paint? I'd feel bad about painting over such a nice white tank!

I don't want to change the color, I want to have it re-painted in Pearl White once again and in the process remove some of the minor scratches the tank has now :) Title: Re: Tank Painting - Recomendations Post by: He Man on August 24, 2008, 04:52:17 PM I don't want to change the color, I want to have it re-painted in Pearl White once again and in the process remove some of the minor scratches the tank has now :) ahhh. Have you tried to use plastic polish? or a rubbing compound? I have THOUSANDS of small scratches all over my tank, xpt its black, so you can see them all.

seriously... I took my bike out for a test ride after installing yet another new headlight and the looks I got were hilarious. Folks need to learn to watch the road and not the beautiful motorcycle waiting to enter traffic. One after another head stuck on my ride- drivers/passengers- even kids and babies! Can't thank Nate enough for that. Where were you when I was single!? ... err- that didn't come out quite the way I meant it to. :-[ [moto] Title: Re: Tank Painting - Recomendations Post by: uclabiker06 on August 26, 2008, 08:20:10 PM Quote bad Nate! no... poptart? cheese whiz? caviar? seriously...
