The tank that Menno is painting is a spare one I got with bike 'cos the original one was absolutely disgusting inside. However, over the last week, I stripped the original tank and I bunged two tubs of caustic soda from the pound shop in it and a kettle full of boiling water . Fk me it was like something from a Frankenstein movie with all the heat, hissing and gurgling but turns out the tank had been lined and my 'brew' stripped it out ...it looked like a load of seaweed when I pulled it out. that tank now looks the most dent free tank I have ever seen for a 45 year old bike. Think I might get it painted as a spare in Gold by Menno once I have got my resto's done then I can swap over as the mood takes me. Still love the green though. Funnily enough, the earliest model I know of from Honda with candy paint is the 1967 SS125A but the candy paint was on the frame, not the tank etc !
