Painting the Scrambler Gas Tank-With Canned Spray Paint!
Well I've been doing some work on fixing up the 1973 Honda Scrambler I bought a couple of months ago. Been taking my time and just working on it when the mood strikes. One issue I had been avoiding was doing something with the gas tank. The motorcycle was originally from Arizona (Sunny Slope Honda in Phoenix according to the sticker on the rear fender) and had been left out in the sun. The paint on the top of the tank was trashed, but the sides were in decent shape. So all I wanted to do was paint the top to match the sides. After some research on the vintage Honda boards I found a guy that discovered that late nineties Acura paint matched the paint a 1973 Honda! I figured it was worth a try so bought a couple of cans of touch up paint off of Amazon. I've used canned spray paint before so I knew you could get it to look decent. Here are some pictures:
