Gas spills and age damaged Zenaida´s paint specially the tank.
The fuel petcock got clogged and decided to take advantage of this and stripped the paint off the tank.
I went to the local radiator shop and dipped the tank in acid.
The tank had a very hard life, you can see lead patches all over it.
It needs a lot of work.
I´ll get there.
Brass was used too at some point. Bondo is a wonderful thing!
With some extra time in between projects I decided to take the fenders off too.
The fenders don´t look good either.
And yes, I striped the paint too. The problem is that I´m working on three bikes at the same time. Fortunately one of them needs paint too.
I never liked the looks of the triple clamp! I think I will clean it, retouch it or repaint it.
The question is, should I continue and repaint the frame. It still has the original paint, not like the tank and fenders. It looks fine.
What do you think?
