Becky Stern | Spray Painting a Matte Finish Motorcycle Tank // Becky Stern @BeckyStern | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I filmed this video a while back and just hadn't gotten around to editing it because the tank still awaits some custom art, a topcoat, and final mounting on Smokey's hardtail XS650. But hey, when that happens maybe I'll do a part two! This video chronicles the tank's journey from bare metal through two coats of automotive primer and two coats of Hot Rod Flatz matte automotive paint. It was my first time using the Preval sprayers and I thought they worked well. Check out the Instructable for step by step details:
