Hi everyone.
Mick here from England UK. I’m pretty much a beginner & hope I can gain lots of knowledge from the wealth of information on here. Currently renovating a motorcycle & ran across this problem with the lacquer on the finished petrol tank. This was a “bubble ” in the lacquer once it had dried, about 3mm in diameter. How do I get rid of this ?. Can I sand it out & re-lacquer just this one area? or will I have to do the whole tank.
Thanks in advance
Mick
Hey I’ve only seen this a couple of times and I have been told that its due to trapped air under the tape, caused by not pushing the tape down hard enough before painting. How many coats of clear did you put on. I have flat a d polished one out before with 2000. 🙂
Hi Rikka
Thanks for your reply which makes sense. The pinstriping has bubbled slightly in a few more areas.
Nice RC8 by the way. I have an RC8R 2011. Awesome machines !!!
Hey mate no worries, yeh there awesome, I only charged 400 for all the work, I haven’t got a bike but I think if I did it probably be a triumph 675 sorry bout the spelling I just think the work I could do to one of them and the size of it would be great for me being short, I did have a bandit 600 but it wasn’t great, I get jealous of they bikes I have to paint as I’d love one ha ha
