Awesome paint job! You should be proud of it. A small advice for next time: regarding the template you made for the red part, you can trace it, fold in half and retrace it so it is 100% symmetrical.
Damn fine paint job mason 👌
That looks stunning, you did a fine job on that one!
Thank you!!!
That gas tank is a work of art!
Turned out decent, hope it performs as well as it looks. I think it will. Good Job!
Really nice job. That does look fantastic. 👍👍
That tank came out really good..
Awesome bro. Little advise. I would stop using paint thinner as a pre paint solvent. Use isopropyl alcohol. Or a can of spray glass cleaner. Just my .02. Both of these evaporate quickly with no residue.. all love bud
Brilliant mate your painting has come along way exceptionally good job mate 👍
That goofy tool you used to apply the bondo actually worked well on the large dents, the rigid straight edge served you well to allow the bondo to fill up the dent
You are awesome, I did mine today 4/3/2023
Hell yeah, thanks Bruv.
Use sandable filler primer after the bondo to sand out all the little imperfections then sealer primer before base coat.
Dupli-Color makes these products as well.
Well-done m8 you pulled it off looks great 👍 👌 don't worry about the bondo it will be fine
This Video is super helpful to me. I just had a 1975 Yamaha TT 500 Gifted to me. It needs a TON of work so saving this video for when the tank restoration part comes around.
There are many who would argue that you were correct to prime first, and then fill. Filler straight to bare metal could allow rust to form under the Bondo and cause it to lift. Primer first guarantees all your bare metal stays rust free and should still give the Bondo a great surface to adhere to.
Nice job guy. Lot of work for sure. I used to think my paint guy was a little expensive at $1500 Dollars for tank and fenders on the Triumphs I restore. Till he took a video of the whole procedure and I saw the hours of work involved.RMM
yes man. brilliant job 👏
Dude, Really impressed. Great job
Well done. Beside the bondo “oops” that rattle can paint job looks great. Curious on how that tank sealer holds up.
Looks great!
Nicely done fella 👏
Awesome job - ty for sharing!
Ficou incrível cara 👏👍

I have to do mine for the Kawasaki KE125 1978, so thanks !

It turned out great. That 2 part clear coat in a can is good stuff. I think you could have popped 90 percent of those dents out. I'll take a long tire spoon and cover the end in a few layers of cloth tape to make it a softer edge.... then I go into the tank with the iron and try to pop out the dent from the inside.
Thanks! I'll try that next time.
well done mate..Good job 👍
Excellent job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's funny this came up on my play list but I also have a 1976 MT250 the bike itself is in mint condition other than the gas tank needs to be refreshed it has some staining and some small scratches. But that is an outstanding job on the tank with Diy materials very nice clear coat finish
That looks awesome! Well done :)
Turned out nice. Next time do a flow coat to level out the clear
Nice job.
Template thing is great, thanks
great vid GG.
i would never guessed that rattle cans could even touch gun paint....i don't understand why cleaning the tank didn't include BBs.
I’m attempting to seal the inside of my Yamaha fz8 fuel tank. And I’m actually worried about using a tank sealer due to the fact there isn’t a drain hole besides the gas vents
Crazy how much that suff eats but not plastic???
Nice work. The tank looks beautiful. Has the paint held up to any fuel spills? Thanks. I will go poke around on your channel now. Lots of 2 stroke restomod stuff on my channel.
Yeah the paint held up great to a few fuel spills and then I sold the bike.
Dude that is a shit serious awesome resto job on that tank. I was looking at it being hyper critical but you know what? Factory Honda tanks aren't better than yours. At least not classic ones like that. I'm thinking about sending you 12 of my tanks to restore! Well done, can't wait to see the rest of the bike.
Hello GG love your videos. I have three MTs. A 125 and two 250s. The 125 is a gem, but I feel you pain with the 250! I can’t get one of them to run right and the other is a future project. The question I have for you is when you coated your tank with POR15, did you have to remove the petcock? Thank you. Your fan Dave.
Hi. Nice work. What is the id# on the back of the can of the silver your using? Thanks.
you damn well know that that’s the main hair dryer !
😂😂✌️
awesome vid dude, tank came out great, definitely gonna come in handy when I attempt to repaint my bikes tank (Suzuki TS400) do you plan on reinstalling all the electronics like the turn signals and tail lights to hopefully get it road legal again?
Thank you! Yes I do plan on installing all the lighting and getting it road legal again!
dude that's awesome, can't wait to see her back in action, just recently bought myself a Suzuki TS250, not the fastest things but god are they fun
FaN*TaSTiC!
On your next bike if needed? ~ theres lot of ways 2 pop them dents out b4 bondo less product & less
labor = more room for gas b4 it gets to $8bucs a Gal.

The tank looks fantastic. I’m thinking of doing the same, what color are you using for the gray? You keep saying silver, is that what’s on the can? Great job!
Do you still have the Captain America Honda? That clear coat would protect that distressed paint job on the bike. That is if it comes in a matt or semi gloss finish. The tank does look brand new. Great job!!
Yes I do have it! I actually did clear coat that tank with this stuff after the video! Thanks for the great idea!
Por 15 stands for pour over rust 15th formula
I have a question : when you use the muriatic acid, do you leave the fuel tap on the tank? Because it's aluminum and muriatic acid can dissolve it.
I only leave the fuel tap on if I plan on replacing it anyways. If it's a new one then cut a rectangle out of steel and tighten it on with some gasket sealant and send it. The acid will dissolve the petcock btw.
Howd you avoid the flash rusting after the hair dryer??
Work very quickly
😎👍😎
im trying to restore my kr250's gas tank but i cant find any original decals for it, kind of annoying especially since my bikes only like 20 years old
That's sucks
Womp womp
Can I ask what the temp was in your garage while painting?
It was about 70 degeees
Why would u bondo those dents? Could've popped them out
Using muriatic acid will clean your rusted motorcycle tank like nothing else, Get safety equipment gloves goggles and have good ventilation,
I bet your toyota over there got painted too hah
No but it definitely needs it 😂
Why not remove the dents ?
How do you remove them? I've never done that.
Once you get this bike restored. You should use it to teach your girlfriend to ride and it could be her first bike.
Looks really good, how's the por 15 liner holding up?
It seems to be going up alright.
you need to marry a woman that let's one borrow a hair dryer!
Let’s be honest. The striping is pretty awful. Looks at the lines. They are all over the place.
That tank sealer is shit,,too many bikes come in and the liner is failed,,makes the rust come back and forth at worse ,,,like laying a blanket on a wet surface,,,,rust for sure
