This was a fun small job that I did for the guy who bought my Triumph Street Triple R (which I now regret selling!). He is doing a cafe style semi-restoration on the 360 and so we needed to paint the bodywork. We picked a good classic/retro color scheme of dark teal and gold for the bike and started in on the tank which you can see from the pictures was in pretty rough shape. After media blasting, it was epoxy primed and the bodywork was done. There were lots of dents and dings from years of use that needed to be filled and blended. The inside of the tank was pretty rusty but not rusted through so I used POR 15 to seal it after removing the rust. More pictures tomorrow…
