Great job on the tanks, how long did it take you to achieve such a high standard.
Cheers

Hi Tim
We have always been restoring Bikes and Cars using both rattle cans and Air fed systems
We are not professionals, we just both love to keep going till we get it right.
Not always the case with paint, but we have found if your prep work is good the top coats are easy.
Its also the quality of the rattle cans, we always use a proper paint supplier as we have found the pressure and cast of the spray to be a lot better.
Hi Roy
As we say not professionals, but if your stuck when we have finished these I am sure Keith Jnr would consider helping out.The paint costs for our was around £75.00 per tank
Cheers

What finish do you have on final prep Keith? I have two CB250 tanks that I need to have painted.I have removed most of the paint with (proper) paint stripper but I was considering dry bead blasting them as final prep with 50/100 Vixosheen glass beads. Will this finish be fine enough for candy (or metallic) paint?

Hi Ash
We finished with 1200 Wet & Dry prior to primer and between base undercoats
From the read up it sounds as if it would do the job ok,but we are no experts in bead blasting, we did it the old fashioned way with a stanley blade and sore fingers
Cheers
