I had to so some sanding, repainting, and then clear coat on the tank.
It's done and looks fine, but it was a lot of work and still doesn't look quite as nice as the work my brother did on it.
Powder-coat painting keeps looking more and more attractive. One coat, and you're done!
The tank did need some Bondo, and I don't think that would have worked for powder-coating, but maybe it's time to get an inexpensive powder-coater and build an oven I can push a motorcycle into.....
