WrinkleyP Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 PAINTING A PLASTIC MOTORCYCLE TANK. My Bultaco Sherpa motorcycle has a plastic tank. I have painted it with acrylic and achieved a superb finish BUT once I apply a fuel proof coating (and/or decals), the paint blisters away from the plastic surface. This is obviously because the tank is vapor permeable, as is the acrylic finish but the decals and lacquer trap the vapour. Has anyone found a suitable coating for the INSIDE of a plastic tank to form a barrier layer to this vapour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
