Okay, I'll try the sanding method first.
I'd rather not use nasty chemicals.
What grit? There is no body work on the tank, just some nicks where the paint has been chipped.

You can buy a brush on paint remover from The Home Depot... it gets all the little bends and nooks and crannies really well. I personally usually don't remove the paint. I just sand it down some (called scuffing) and then prime and paint right over the old. -Rich There are a bunch of nicks in the paint, so I think that even sanding it down wouldn't make it perfect. I figure taking the whole thing to bare metal, priming and then air brushing the new color on would give a better smooth look. . .right? |

How small is the area? It's a motorcycle gas tank.
I should sand it all off?

I like the IDEA of twisties, but when it comes to actually being on the twisty roads, I slow way down. I just don't trust my tires yet! Kid, glad you're okay, ride safe in the future! |

That sucks.
As does the tire. It's a good excuse to get real tires put on.
I want to put new tires on Tom's scoot, especially after the
accident but he's still not there. He says they are fine because they still
have tread. What he doesn't seem to want to understand is that it's
the side walls that start breaking down on these so you go down in
a curve. Even if the tread looks good, the side walls get weak.
Go get yourself new tires and see if they mnfr will give you something back
on them. Valve stems, too.

I'll grill it but I will not catch it, unhook it or clean it.
THAT is the MAN'S job!

I'm thinking of doing this when I get my motorcycle redone.
Thanks for the link to the How To on eHow.
