Thanks. I'll look into the POR-15 and Eastwood offerings. I talked to the powder coat folks, they didn't recommend clear powder coat. Something about it turning yellowish (not being UV stable) and not being good with any drops of fuel on the outside of the tank. Thanks again!

I'm restoring (cafe style..) a '74 Triumph T100R. I stripped the paint off the old tank, side cover and oil tank. I want to polish the three and then clear coat. (I would like the underside of the tank and insides of the side cover and oil tank to be black.) Here is a link to a picture of...
