    I will support the POR15. I will admit to using it once on a tank for my 550Kat, when I could not risk any damage to the original paint.

    It takes some doing though

      I ended up going with the 2-part epoxy by Caswell. Instructions say it will do two tanks but after talking to local moto shop, mixed up the entire batch and drained left over. Seems to have worked quite well. Dries clear. I did notice about a dime size place in one of the few places in the tank I could actually see that somehow did not get covered. For $40 though, well worth it. Also installed a $5 inline fuel filter and has a decent amount of rust in it after 2 fill ups at the gas station. Wondering if that is just residual or a larger portion of the sealant didn't do what it was supposed to do.
