Was your tank chemically stripped inside when it was painted originally Roy? I agree that if it was my tank I would either have new metal stitched in or find a better tank (I appreciate the latter is difficult in the case of the Suzuki).I am pretty sure Andrew Parnaby the guy I use in the UK could metal repair and paint the tank. His prices are on par with Menno but his lead times can be much, much longer.
then run it with primer painted to prove it first for decent time prior to finishing if field trials succeed.
