Nice looking job. I really do hope that this works but I have my doubts as the closest material I have seen to what the Buell tank is made of is the old dirt bike plastic tanks. These shed decals due to fuel vapour escaping through the tanks and bubbling the graphics. To the extent that the decals for these tanks are perforated to allow the vapour to escape through the decal.
But as you say for £30 it has to be worth a go. If I can match the carbon weave on my tailpiece I might give it a go on my spare Manta tank.

Sounds like a loaf of bread. I think "raised" would be a better word :coat:

I agree Bonzo looking back "Raised" is really the preferred word.
