Hi Larry,
if you want to do the job yourself, there's an aviation sloshing paint
available, which is great for the inside of the gas tank. Kevin Dalton may
know of a supplier??? Kev??

Hello Liv, Larry, Everyone,

I'm here but on the digest version so a bit late on things.  I am not
familiar with the paint of which Liv speaks but here is a link that might
provide a source.

I have used Eastwood's gas tank interior coating kit with good results
although I have heard of others having difficulties.  Now I just take the
tanks to a local gas tank restoration shop and pay the bill.

As far as the frame goes I have used POR 15 and also Correless (from
Eastwood) both of which have worked well.  Its a messy job but worth the
effort to keep it from rusting again and to ensure that areas that are
rusted that can not be reached are addressed.
