just get some of the thin masking tape comes in all widths 1/8 3/32 etc. words just great. just barely get into the chrome area with it. paint, coat of clear then put your stripes and decals on the bike and shot 5-7 coats of clear on top of that and it will look great.

Subject: Painting an Ambo Tank
Hey, Loopframers..
I'm on the final stretch of my '72 Ambo restoration and are prepping the sheetmetal for painting. I intend to do my own paintwork and would be interested if any of you have experience in masking the chrome panels..
I've stripped the tank to bare metal and will be shooting an etching primer, then an epoxy sandable primer, and finally a 2-part acrylic enamel .. solid color with clearcoat.
Any tips on masking and pinstriping would be appreciated.
