doogle Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Does anybody know where I can get a tank decal for my REV 3 that covers the whole side of the tank. I had unfortunate incident whilst practising on sunday and managed to scrape the side of the tank on the only rock in the whole venue, so what I need now is some cunning sticker application. I have seen the TTT ones but they leave some bits exposed which I think will still show the scratches. I have seen the pictures of R2W's bike and he seems to have them and I think the TTT ones from last year covered the whole tank. I have looked on SXS and they do not seem to do any tank ones. My only other option I guess is adapting the fork ones to fit. Thanks for your help Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie pumpkin Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I saw a guy the other day, have one from trialsuk.co.uk, call them to see if they can sort you out . Tel 0871 2882 741. If not just get in touch with some one that designs graphics and then cover them with clear technosel, to make them more hard wearing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 can you not just polish the scratches out - and then re-buff with scotchbrite to give the original look back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogle Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 can you not just polish the scratches out - and then re-buff with scotchbrite to give the original look back? Afraid not they are to deep. Gowge (is that how you spell it) would be a better description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4it Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 A nine inch angle grinder should do the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could consider taking it to a metal finishers if it's too much of a job for yourself or you're not sure how to do it Another option would be to gouge more marks such as 3eta - and tell everybody that it's supposed to be like that!
