Now that I'm riding my Dakar-replica G/S (thanks to Mike for sorting out the extended swingarm and final drive) thoughts have turned to re-doing the paintwork. Unfortunately since the picture was taken, time, wear and petrol / ethanol fumes have taken their toll on the front tank, and the paint has now bubbled in several places.
It's a nylon Acerbis tank, and has been painted several times before. However, before doing it again, I'm thinking of sealing it as well, to protect from ethanol-induced problems in future. Has anyone got any experience of the various treatments available, and in particular if they would work on nylon? The rear tank is an HPN original made of who-knows-what and has never taken paint well, but I'm always prepared to try again.
I'd also welcome suggestions for painters and even paint schemes.
Thanks
Graham
