Have been working on this odd fuel tank for some time now
I think this is a Honda CB450 fuel tank and it is modified to fit a NX 650 Dominator
It also has an exterior fuel level line
So let's see how this went
First of all I cleaned the 2 sides with paint remover so the only thing left was bare metal
After that i washed it several time with acid to remove any signs of rust

This tank will be sprayed gloss black , bare metal on both sides with a red stripe
Sounded easy at first but was quite difficult ,especially to catch the right shape in the red stripe (and i can not say that i was 100% satisfied
So before i spray the first coat of primer i must first cover both sides
Primer 2 coats
This was tricky because the primer covered all the tape and it was really hard to see the border line
Time for the red stripe
Masking one more time
Spray with black and remove all tape , time for clear laquer ( 2 coats )
Not bad i guess
