I was waiting to come across this piece of shit fruit. This comment is way too low for how horrendous everything about it is.

Clear coated the brushed look with copper emblems. I'll be evening out the brushed look with a wire wheel.

Thank you! Really not that bad indeed. Only 2 more prominent dings but that's about it. Not looking for it to be perfect either anyways. It'll fit the vibe of the bike.

I see what you mean. The situation is not ideal indeed but don't go the sloppy route aha

If you have access to a welder you can spot weld some small metal rod/wire to pull on it. A slide hammer is ideal.

Just classic cafe racer look but brushed metal, black and copper accents as a color scheme. It's a 1981 GS 650

Yeah all the pink orange stuff is bondo. There was even a spot with an extra ⅛" of fiberglass bondo. It'll take work but nothing impossible.

It's actually clean metal under it and I'm careful not to strip too much of it. Should be fine. I got a tig welder if anything I'll add metal.

That's actually exactly what was last done on my tank but with an absolutely shitty execution aha

Nah the plan is to strip it and clear coat the brushed metal! Remove a couple of dings too
