I did a quick touch up on the bottom of my gas tank last night. As you can see I left out the part that has an axle leak. I figured theres no rust underneath that.
Im at the point where I would like to touch up the joint/ pinch portion of the gas tank. Is this something worth sanding down, metal prep, priming, then painting ? Or should I leave it?
I generally like taking 80 grit sandpaper to it first.. To make sure the wire wheel doesnt destroy it. ( Which is what I did with the bottom portion of the gas tank )
Some rust discoloring remained.. But hopefully stopped it / slowed the rust down for the most part...
Also, does anyone know what I could have used to remove axle fluid off the tank? Gas I assume?
