Plastic gas tank restoration. Through some trial and error a
system of refinishing plastic gas tanks has been developed.
Careful prep work and chemical selection has made it possible to
have a more beautiful and durable finish than even a new tank.
After finishing, color will not fade or change and stick on graphics
will never bubble. Will it last forever? I don't know. My tanks have
been done 2 years ago with no problems. They can always be
redone at any time if damaged. Base cost for a tank is $300 plus
shipping. Any color. This includes matching any plastic you have.
Custom graphics are per hour @$60. I can then provide a paint
formula for the frame so everything matches perfect if needed.
The process takes about 2 weeks because some of the materials
require a cure time. You must wait about 2 more weeks before
applying stickers or adding fuel. Why restore an old tank? Some
are not available and some originals have the manufacturer's logo
and/or date codes that won't be on a repro. It also allows for a
higher quality metal tank look. See the pics below.

bet I'll be sending the RM 250 stuff.
This is from Mike in Ridgecrest California,

person to work with ever, constantly providing updates at every
step, and a perfectionist to boot! Thanks for the fantastic work."
