Posted: 14:24 - 28 Dec 2018 Post subject: My tank paint jobs starting to blister :( |

Right so as you know when i got the bike over a year ago now the tank wasnt at the best state... It was crazy paving all the way... So i had to strip the tank and repainted it... Apart from some dripping lacquer on the kawasaki decal it actually went pretty well and to plan...
Untill now.
Why has this happened?
So yes some nights i leave the bike out here... It has been in frost.... this has been because I sometimes leave the house at 6:30 in the morning to get to town, so I didnt want to go through all the faff of going out to the shed (bit of a walk in the dark) set up a plank of wood as a ramp and then push the bike up it... Normally during the day its not a big issue but at freezing cold night its a pain in the arse....
So i figure, cars bikes and paint is designed to be outside... So I leave it outside some nights.
I was lazy this xmas I admit I should have put it away... but I didnt so its been out for a few days. And I just checked on the bike and found the blistering... Whats really perplexing is the weather. Apart from being misty hasnt been that bad. Its been a relatively warm Christmas here.
So whats caused this? Is it rust? (i suspect so because some of the line patterns suggest some kind of rust formed in a sanding line)
And if rust, how has moisture got through lacquer and paint? (I admit this is rattle can stuff)
Or also very likely... Did i do something wrong pre painting, should I have applied some kind of extra treatment?
I did do acid washes before to remove the few specs of rust that were on the tank when i stripped it, was there another treatment I should have done to seal it?
Well i cant repaint it as its too cold a time of year... And come spring I might be getting a new bike.
I might end up keeping the er6f to turn into a project bike but I dont know yet...
It was under a tree, could tree sap cause this?

I'd be wary of spraying 2k at home in your garage, unless you've got no neighbours and a airfed mask. Its pretty nasty stuff.

You're talking out your behind, do you spray much using 2k paint and clearcoats?
Your inb4 crap means nothing and a random post of some bloke having an adverse reaction to the paint is not really relevant, stop googling shit. |

Hi,did you spray it when there high humidity in the air? I.e cold,damp outside but warm where you sprayed it?If so,when you open the door of your shed,area where you did it,cold air can come in and cause a very slight fogging issue in the air,condensation. You may not see it,but it can happen,causing minuscule droplets. This may have happen, but I can't say for certain. What's the inside of the tank like,also? ____________________ Life is short,so live it... |
