oh yes i did im sorr guys im gonner just have it sprayed normal the only thing i was worrid about was under the tank on the exhaust side the paint was bubbling just thought powder coating would had stoped this ill ask the body shop is there anougther way

what ever it is the body shop will remove it, and sand back to the sound metal. Once there is a good base they will paint over that.. so no need to worry

The paint was possibly bubbling because fuel was leaking from the tank. Probably worth checking it's fuel-tight before spraying.

Powder coating a gas tank is beyond the good manners I guess.

The tank of a bike is well let's call it the face of a nice girl.

Hopefully that statement and the one to come will not get me in any trouble).(

Only very little make-up can improve the appearance but putty is the opposite.
