Not bad...Ive seen a couple guys strip their 48s to bare metal and liked the look. Ive always thought one stripped to bare metal and then painted with some candy colored stripes would look nice.

No....actually it was for sale on this board super cheap...I couldnt pass up the deal. It was about half the price I had been quoted for a simple repaint and pinstripe....and about a a quarter of what the MOCO wants for their tanks.

Wow! That's awesome!

I'd like to get my tank painted gloss black. Thinned think hard about putting an HD badge on it, but maybe not.

I'm just too lazy to remove the tank myself.

LOL

Tank removal takes so little time I am thinking about having my original tank painted with scallops just to have a change from time to time.
