Any tips for avoiding paint damage to petrol tank?

<< < (2/2)

Athame57:
Ever since I pulled some paint of a tank with plastic style tape  ::)  I've used paper based tape, it is robust enough but if you think you might be in trouble you can wash it off.  ;D

Only just did this last week. Just used rag on the surface. Paint on the two little brackets where to catch fits was too think and the pin would not protrude far enough to get the circlip on. So had to carefully remove a bit of paint the dia on the pin head, so it now looks embedded. Getting the clip fitted you have to be very careful as you are working next to paint. I used pliers with a a narrow blunt nose and all was well.

This afternoon I fitted the Petrol Cap & Catch - thanks for all the tips it went on fine.

The catch spring was a bit fiddly but after viewing a U-tube video it went on okay - shame the fingers are in the way but enough to work out how it fits.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeJRpfbTRg8
