dispersion Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ok so i removed my tank pad but i looks like the outline is still there but when i get the outline off it scratches the pain off. It seems to me like someone has either repainted the tank with the old tank pad on it or is there an easier way of getting this stuff off? I have tried petrol, wd40 and a hair dryer.ThanksGareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuno1 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 You need a mild abrasive that is safe to use such as t-cut. Be careful as too much rubbing thins laquer! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer5 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 IF there is a sticky outline of the old pad, made up of dirt grime etc try nail varnish remover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I tried the above and there is still a very faint line, but now only such that I can see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dispersion Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 cheers mines quite obvious from a few meters away possibly if i can get it smooth that'd be a fine thing. Will sort this out tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dispersion Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the advice and I know I love and other people love seeing pics so here you go, even a novice like me can make there bike look slightly better. Took about 1-2 hours of rubbing and half a tube of the stuff! Also gonna get a pen or spray to cover chips, any ideas/help with that would be brill!

Also theres some areas where someone has already used a pen or paint but slightly bumpy, the t-cut type stuff didn't smooth it out, wet sand paper job?
