Boy did I screw up...

Hi errbody.

So I had the tank off setting the float height on the 300, and it ended up on its side with a trail of gas down it from the cap. Lifted and wrinkled the clear coat really bad. My hasty attempt at damage control ended up with me pulling the emblems, cleaning the tank off going over it with some Krylon clear(which gave it a semi-glossy sheen to it), but it still shows where the gas-dissolved clear coat was.

Will a bit of color sanding take care of this? Is there a better clear coat to use?

Color sand and use spray max 2k 386 0061 catalyst dried clear.

I used the SprayMax on my bike and really liked it, it does hold up to gas well. Be sure to follow all of the safety procedures, and wear a respirator while using; it is serious stuff and can make you sick if you ignore the instructions. You can buff it to a very nice shine.

Thanks fellas, yall are awesome! I'll take pics of progress, though it may take awhile.

Yep 2k catalyst clear is the way to go on fuel tanks. Very gas resistant. I used the colorrite version when I painted my R6 tank, and 4 years later, it still looks great and is hard as nails.
