    The JB weld at the transition point is a great idea! My bike's paint bubbled after I painted it cause gas got underneath. I'm gonna try that.

    Looks great. I haven’t tried the jb weld trick. I always tape off my filler, tape off where the cap sits. That way your clear will seal up on the neck and fuel can’t get under it.

    This is exactly what I was looking for, I’m not a professional and it’s for me on my motorcycle and I can’t buy expensive sprayer booth filters and all that pro stuff, by the way your tank came out beautiful thanks for the video

    Thanks, great video. I recommend everyone to try painting - it`s fun and you will never stop painting. But be aware that you have to try a few times before you get hobby skills. I have spray painted a hole bike with prime, 2-component white and 2-component clearcote - all in spraycans. Worked great but you must sand it and polish it to get that gloss finish.

      Hey Clas, Im going to undertake a motorcycle project on my older Ducati within the next couple of weeks with rattle cans, (Ive never painted before). Im going to go with some Rustoleum Custom - Matte Pearl white followed by some SprayMax 2K clear. Question, what differences in application will I encounter between the fiberglass body parts, and the metal gas tank? Thks!
