Gavin,
When David painted my tank he described his preparation exactly as your e-mail. He told me the whole job depends on proper prep.

I am a painter... getting paint to stick to chrome is all about getting the surface right.
Put straight onto shine chrome any paint will fall off.
With the right roughing up and reperation it should be fine.
I would get a second opionon or call an auto paint company and talk to their technical people to get the facts.
Their is nothing like getting the info direct from the people who make the stuff.
Regards,
Gavin

Hi Brett,
I had mine painted last year (solid black with metallic gold striping and decals) My painter (Dave Hirata, Lowell Body Shop, Lowell, Indiana) said it was no problem at all. I'm not a painter, only relaying personal experience. So far it's only been a year but it looks like the day I picked it up. If you would like to see it I would be glad to e-mail you a picture or two.

Subject: Painting Guzzi tanks
I've been talking to my painter, and he claims that new paints do not stick well to chrome (Guzzi tanks) due to the lack of lead in modern paints. Anybody have any input? He wants to use the a chrome contact paper for knee panels and I think that will look like s**t with a ridge around panel...........thanks in advance for the input. Brett in Indiana
