Hi, has anyone ever painted a Honda CB 400 Four tank with Menno? Results? I did one set of a Honda CB 400 Four side covers plus tank, but was not happy with the result. The selfmade tank stickers by Menno (two layers) were not fully covered by clear coat, so there was a white reaction around them. He doesnt paint/seal the under side of the tank against corrosion. Side covers were not sanded on the side (frame tube side). I sent tank back for repair stickers and spraying underside, he never sanded or cleaned the underside, he just put a shot of paint on it and my clear coat now has metallic floks in it. Yes he offered to fix it again, but my patience was over. Maybe he is better with non CB400F tank with no stickers. But yeh I seen better painters..

I have a 550 painted by Menno and am very happy with it. I can see a defect in one side panel but that fine as its still superior to the original finish.
I think the clear coat is a little soft and when mentioned he offered to re coat for free even though I bought the bike pre painted from another forum member. I did not take him up on his very generous offer as I couldn't be bothered to send it off and didn't think it was worth it.
My 750 was painted by local painter and that also has a very minor defect that's also fine. The clear coat is a bit tougher even though painted in the same clear coat as the 550. From memory I think it was Sikkens so not cheap crap.
No one paints the underside of the tank to the same finish as the topside and No one paints the backs of the side panels.

I will also add that I have seen better but I have also seen much worse and I will be using Menno in the future as he stripped and cleaned the tank were as the other painter did not.
If you want your tank and panels backsides painted then you should ask.

Men no recently painted my CB250RSA tank, side panels, front mudguard and seat cowl. Decals were made by Piki. Everything was perfect, no complaints whatsoever. Finish was far superior to standard and the decals were of excellent quality as always. I would have no hesitation to use Menno again.

Hi Green1, I bought new black side cover for my Honda CB400F, I didnt mean he didn't painted the back side, I said he didn't sand and painted the sides nicely, he cut corners.
I hope my pic gets posted. Of course you don't finish the underside of the tank like the top side, but at least some color/paint to seal the white primer and with a ruby red tank and a bright white inside looks strange.

I am surprised that Menno use now Piki decals, one layer. I will contact him to redo my tank again (third time).

Kind regards,

Emiel
