Thanks. I had some small decals left over from an order. They fit perfectly in that space.

Got anymore?

I looked last night. I do not have any more. I got them from Tapeworks.com

Epoxies are not suitable for UV exposure.

I use epoxy primer on aluminum parts and paint over that. It seems to hold up very well. I guess that the paint keeps the epoxy from UV light.

Here are a few photos of the new paint job. 
DupliColor T090
Krylon Matte Clear
I waited a week after painting to handle the tank, put it back on the bike and to wash the whole bike. 
It is not a perfect match; a bit lighter than the stock dark matte on the bike (front fender). 
I did this to see if I like the dark or if I want to go with gloss black.  I am out about $25 for two cans of paint, one can of clear and a quart of acetone to remove the custom flame job.  It took no more that 3 hours total; 2 hours preparing the tank and an hour painting.  Of course, there was the week that I could not ride.
