So Im working on my first build, a 78 cb750K. Anyways Im getting rid of the ugly 78K tank for Super Sport tank. The tank I have is in a bit of rough shape, but I actually like the color scheme & IMO the old paint & surface rust adds character. My thought is I could try clearing it & if it sux I can always repaint it. Here is my tank.
Its pretty rough, but If I can make it work I want to try it.
What Im trying to find out though is what is the process for doing this. I literally dont have much experience with painting other than rattle can. Im planning on buying a paint gun & using professional clear coat to do it the right way. But I need to find out what clear coat to use & how i should prep the tank before clearing it. Ive searched all over the web & have found others that have done this, but I have yet to find out how to prep for it & the steps.
My biggest inspiration for this is Eric Meglasson's CB450. Here is the link:http://www.bikeexif.com/honda-cafe-racer-2
