Thanks guys. I was wondering about temperature. I am painting in the garage. I keep the paint inside the house while storing and hung the part over a space heater while painting and drying but wonder if it may have still been too cold. I'll try your warming techniques this time around.

Thank you. I took the very light coating approach with the etching primer as you describe, and wore latex gloves when cleaning and handling. I think where I went wrong was in not scuffing up the surface. I'm going to give it another go, adding in the scuffing and using acetone instead of alcohol...

I recently stripped and repainted the top triple tree of a CB350F. Before I even attempted to put it back on the bike I noticed that the paint was beginning to chip. I can even chip parts off with my fingernails on top near the center hole, and it's been 3-4 weeks since I painted the part...

Excellent. Thanks for the tip

I really like the look of my bare steel tank on my CB350 but the grooves where the tank badges were bother me. I tried reattaching the badges but wasn't pleased with that either. Anyone have ideas or suggestions? Thanks
