I know I mostly do complete restoration paint, but I always try to keep people to keep original paint if possible. It looks good. They are only original once
Sounded like Nora yelled the F word when you said "i've got a helper." : ) That rustoleum rust remover works great. It's a lot faster than Evaporust... but don't get any of it in a cut, it's not pleasant. I had a small cut on my hand that I didn't know about... until I get some of that rustoleum gel in it. I think it most be more caustic than evaporust, cause it eats up that rust.
Nora is very sweet! Great job on the tank. I should have done that with an old Goldwing I restored. Painted it myself and was never really satisfied with it.
A piece of wet t-shirt dipped in to same sand, works great for rust on chrome, it want scratch the chrome, and it's cheap, i have done it on bike rims and chrome bumpers,for years,
I’m currently doing a 1981 Suzuki GS550. PO blew the top end after the throttle stuck wide open. It only has just under 10,000km. Head up north tomorrow to pick up a 650 motor. Going to try a 550 to 650 top end swap. Should be interesting.
Looks great! Have you ever had the color come up when polishing? Tried polishing by hand a blue 350 tank and my rag started to turn blue, perhaps the clearcoat is gone?
Most of these old tanks are single stage paint. So you should see color coming off. I did an CB350 K0 that the paint was horribly faded. th-cam.com/video/d9W3VGj7MSM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y9QhXgJeNZzxM7me
Honestly I haven’t had flash rust problems when using a rust remover product. Unlike using straight vinegar, etc. Maybe they out something in it to coat the part after. I don’t know. 🤷♂️
Nice job, looking forward to seeing the finished bike
This will be a fun one. Thanks for watching.

I paint when the original paint can’t be saved or it’s already been spray bombed. Thanks for watching.
I’d leave it totally original ❤
I agree. Thanks for watching.
What a face. Thanks for sharing the kids. I smiled all the way through.
It was a lot of fun. Maybe not the best for making a video. But it was awesome for Pops and the grandkids. Thanks for watching.
Grandchild Sweat Shop! Love it!
That’s right. These motorcycle don’t build themselves.
The CB 450 Black Bomber is such a beautiful bike 🥰
It really is. This tank came out so good. Thanks for watching.

I heard that too!😂
Rustoleum Cut Finder!!!!
Thanks for watching.
I 100% agree with keeping original paint. I, too, have spent many hours hand polishing. Great job.
It is time well spent. Thanks for watching.
At last!! Made my Saturday 🎉❤
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Outstanding!
Thanks for watching.
The original paint and the slightly scuffed chrome side covers look so much better now and more in keeping with the age of the bike, awesome job Eric.
Agreed. Thanks for watching.
@@motorcyclerewind my pleasure, I love watching your videos. 😎👍.
👍
обожаю ваши видео))привет из России)
Thanks for watching.
From a distance looks like new.
Gluing in black plastic circle cutouts for the two missing decals would look good until finding the actual decals.
Came out really good. Good idea for the emblems.
Awsome ❤
It was a lot of fun. Thanks for watching.

I love trying to bring old paint back to life. I figure I can make it worse. And if all else fails we paint it. Thanks for watching.

That’s a great idea. I also like to use some WD-40 and a brass brush. Thanks for watching.

That sounds fun. The swap not the blowing the engine up. 😂 Thanks for watching.

Do you use anything to stop the rust?
I haven’t put anything in these yet. Do you have something you suggest. Thanks for watching.
@@motorcyclerewind no I don’t.
I was just wondering if you used anything on the paint to kill the rust from coming back out.

Yes Sir. They are only original once. Thanks for watching.
