Hi,
I have BRG painted tank and it seems to look OK but I am just wondering if out of paint and polished Triumph steel tank would look OK. What is under the paint ? Have anybody tried that trick ?

it will rust, even if clear coated.

You could strip the tank and have it powder coated "chrome". It looks like polished aluminum.

I don't see any rust.

 

[sevrin]

thats because its powdercoated

Thanks,
looks nice to me. Any photo shot of the whole bike please ?
Why clear coat would not protect the tank ?

That looks nice. But I'm curious as to why clear laquer on bare metal wouldn't stop rust?

Supposeyou could always go for this look.

I put a couple coats of Duplicolor clear top coat on my bare tank,last winter. All I can figure is,the lack of visible rust must be due to the desert like weather I enjoy,here in the Pacific Northwest,about 1/2 a mile from the salt water of Puget Sound. ???

Congarts rodburner,
the tank looks nice and uncommon. No salt on it as well

That's not Shakey's bike by chance, is it?

That tank posted by Bella Corse is NICE!
I almost wish I had never seen it...
it's something else for the someday to do list...
