Retro Rocket, this is one of the best threads I have read here:

Dispelling the mystery between BR MC1 and other 2T oils ,by shortshifter

25:1, for me in bikes chainsaws brushcutters and leafblowers for me seems to work, more oil means more cooling,
I don't race VMX though,

Thanks mm, further sanding of the repaint job has revealed the damage to to glass is from riders knees rubbing thru the gel coat into the resin and fibres. I think to best option would be to strip back to to coloured gel coat layer all over ( including where gel coat rubbed off), then roll a couple of gel coats over the entire tank, then use body filler to sort out any low spots. What do you reckon?
Also, if I want to colour the gel coat, what type of paint do I need to use?
thanks

Thanks for the advise, if the original gel coat is damaged do I need to reaply gel coat, I think I read somewhere that if I don't then the paint will crack. Anyone know if this is correct? Thanks

Hi, I am need advice on fibreglass fuel tank prep prior to painting. I have sealed the insides with KBS sealer, on the outside can I bog with filler, undercoat then paint, or do I need to seal with gel coat or similar prior to painting?
Thanks in advance
