Hi all
I'm looking for some professional advice ref problems with the paintwork on my custom motorcycle tank.
The tank was modified by myself which included some seam welds. The tank was then sealed inside by a professional company here in the UK (Tank repair) who then did the filler work and paint.
The tank has been repainted twice now, after the first time and after a few months I noticed some small lumps appear on the tank where a couple of the weld seams were. The tank sealing guy ground out the filler, re-filled and repainted. He also put some more sealer inside the tank around that area in case there were any pin holes that fuel may have been penetrating.
Anyway, after approx 6 months the same lumps have appeared in roughly the same place. I don't understand what could be causing them so I though I'd post a picture to see if anyone has any ideas what else could be causing this?
I'd appreciate any input as I'm just about to take the tank back to the guy again but don't want to go through the whole process again to find more lumps appear after a few months.....
Many thanks
Stu
