l am going to rattlecan my motorcycle gas tank (no, l do not own a spray giggles gun and can not afford one...ditto on taking it to a pro. local quotes for Registered User tank have been over $300!) and l have a question.
Originally l Joined: Monday, 14th of June 2010, 02:07:01 was just going to do solid gloss black, but now l wanna put a 2 inch white Posts: 96 stripe down the center. l know about priming, spraying, sanding, etc., but Viewed 5811 times I am wondering if l should paint the whole tank black first and then paint
the stripe over the top of it? Should l tape off the stripe area and then
go back after the black is done and paint the stripe? What is the best way
to do this?

I kinda agree with Sleepy. chiquita I'd shoot the white, tape the line and then shoot the black, followed with Registered User clear.

It is worth the extra 2 or 3 bucks a can.
Don't mix enamels and lacquer unless you're looking for some weird
effects.

Do the white all over first. It is easier than trying to cover Gare Bear the black with white later! Then, do the black, after masking off the white Registered User you want to keep.

Viewed 15257 times If you want to protect the pin-striping, you can clear-coat the whole tank
when you're done. Just make sure that the clear-coat is compatible with
the paint you used, as well as the pin-striping.
I am assuming that ur gas tank is a mess now. If it isn't, then doing an
amateur paint job will dramatically lower the value of ur bike!

Paint the tank, first, then add the stripe. Remove the tape Shimmy Shimmy Lip Gloss Barbie while the paint is wet. You still may want to finish the edges of the Registered User stripe with pin striping tape. Joined: Friday, 7th of May 2010, 15:49:10 Posts: 213 Viewed 12817 times

The easiest way is also going to give you the best results. Mi hermosura Shoot your black, wait till it is dry, mask and shoot your white. I know Registered User money is an issue, but use 3M tape. Joined: Sunday, 25th of April 2010, 20:35:55 Posts: 584 Viewed 9920 times
