Never seen this discussed on here before so here goes. How resistant is the Honda factory paint applied in the 60's/70's to fuel with ethanol in it?
I am sure Menno will probably be able to answer this.

Just test some out of sight paintwork with some cheap whisky. 😊

Is there such a thing?

Trigs 750/4 K6 has the original 1976 Honda tank on it, with totally original paint and lacquer and splashes, dribbles etc of modern fuel has not affected the paint at all Ash.

Only needs a dab on the end of a cloth not a full tot.

The e 5 or e10 added nowadays to fuel is nothing more than cheap alcohol.
That doesn't affect paint much.
However; everyone always needs to be very careful with their original paint. Ever.

Does that mean that if I paint my S90 tank with cellulose paint Menno then I don't need to clear-coat with 2-pack petrol resistant lacquer? RS BikePaints still sell the red paint for that model in cellulose.

I would say; test it on a piece of metal first.
Paint it and see the next day how easy it is to wipe it off with a cloth with a bit of thinner on it.
If your cloth turns red I would suggest a clear 2k to seal the tank.

But surely the thinners is the solvent for the cellulose Menno. Isn't a fairer test to wipe it with a cloth with a bit of E10 fuel on it the next day?
I would prefer not to clear coat my 1960's Honda bikes because it looks too 'blingy' . They never looked like that from the factory.
