[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 174848, member: 5012"] When painting a tank I get it to more or less finish state before transfers and lines. Best results I have had are from the following recipe. Primed sanded, colour painted two Pak, sanded, clear coat fine,sanded 1500/2000 grit, light layer clear coat. Apply transfers and line with one shot Gold leaf, allow to dry in air for a week. This part is important from past experience the one shot and the transfers need to be as dry as. I don't use heat just pop the tank in the airing cupboard. Bonus is make you towels smell lovely. Final clear coat three layers finish sanded in between and then machine polish. When perfect hard clean and ceramic coat. No need to polish ever again and ceramic coat protects the paint surface. Looks wet, colour is so deep and no visible transfer edges. I like to use a dark brown primer/base this again adds to depth in the paint work. Piano black colour coat and a two pack clear coat to protect from the dreaded petrol. The ceramic coat a friend does usually for free when he is finishing Ferrara's. This is especially good for black finishes. Al [/QUOTE]
