========
This isn't so straightforward.

Certainly not a 'dip it in and out it comes all nice & easy, like a
miracle". I f thats what you want, this isn't for you.

There's a lot of prep to do, and besides that, these parts are BIG. 100
sq" needs 100 - 150 amps to plate chrome on. Then you can't do the whole
tank, that would take a 16 gal kit $6000
So, you'd have to do it on its side, which will require skill and
patience. You'll screw it up several times probably.

As for the dings. These have to be knocked out or filled with a METAL,
like silver solder - bang goes your POR (thats junk anyway- try our Gas
Tank Sealer) :-)

Approx. 100 sq.in. per side on the tank (200 total) see pic below.
Other chrome bits include crash bars, fender keepers, handlebars (hubs
and valve covers are aluminum). You can probably sell several kits if
it is user friendly and looks good.
Consider that some tanks will have liners, such as the por-15 product
(internal tank liner containing aluminum), and would preferably be left
intact. Also consider that some tanks will have small dings.
Thanks for the quick response. You advice is appreciated.
Clifton
