It has a few pinhole leaks in it... It's a common Vision Problem... I think I got a bad batch from POR- found a few other people ordering about the same time griping on the internet- and after horrible customer service I don't want to strip and try again... But for $350 they will fix the dents, clean the inside, put some new metal in, put a coating on it and shoot it with a few coats of primer.... Good?

YES!
Waited for the boss to leave, called back and asked what they could do for me. $240 to have it ready tomorrow with the dents taken out, lined, holes fixed and with a few coats of primer. ROCK ON!

Yeah- and there's money off if he doesn't have it on time! S[peed rocks
So the current Vision project
$100 bike, $240 tank, $200 for my upcoming paint job, $100 for various rebuild kits= the price of a new tank. Next some new shoes but then she's going to be perfect.

Holy Crap
Welder wouldn't have worked after all. This is just the stripping part of the renu process, they called to let me know that it was going to take an extra day. The booth strips paint and rust but if the metal is almost completely rusted through, it opens that up too. This is before they cut out the rest of the bad area

I think that qualifies as a bit more then a pin hole leak *LOL

They started out as pinhole leaks, When I had it sanded down and AGGRESSIVLY poked with an awl this didn't show up. This hole only appeared after a fairing abbrassive corrosion removal.
