I'm doing a color change on my 300 from green to red. Doe's anyone have any ideas on how to redo the green tank and make it look factory along with my new red fenders???

This is a guess but I would think it would be just like doing a car. Start by sanding off all the old paint with sand paper and finish sand it with a real light paper, like 200 wet sand paper. After that prime it with a good coat of primer. I'm sure Honda sells that red paint in spray cans, pick up a few cans and get to painting. I'm not sure but this would be just an idea. You could put a layer of clear coat paint over the final coat of red to give it a little more protection. But I'm not a paint man so this is just what I might do. Hopefully someone out there who has done it can tell you a better way.

Good luck,
Chris
