Basically I have a old CB500T that I just want to freshen up alittle. I was planning to use aircraft grade laquer (sp?) thinner, sand paper, scotch bright, and a rattle can clear coat to stop rust.
Would that be the proper process of giving my tank a WWII fighter brushed aluminum look?
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't over looking something.
Thanks guys!
Stripping/ sanding/ scotch bright/ clear coating a gas tank?

I've also seen it done with a higher grade sand paper, just keep sanding and it looks like brushed steel at the end.
The clearcoat might end up making it look shiney.

Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
