I want to paint the fuel tank on my bike. It's been painted before, I'm guessing from an aerosol, over the original paint. Most of the tank is covered with a sticker, side panels and seat, so it's not that critical. Saying that the paint on there at the moment is dull and and has a orange peel finish, which I would like to improve upon.
Where do I start with this? Can I just flatten and key the surface, primer and paint or will I have to strip the tank back to bare metal?
Here is a photo of the bike.
