I used Kreem kit on 2 of my tanks one week. (350X, 350-Four motorcycle) It worked really good. Be sure to allow the etcher to sit for a long time, like overnight, to get all of the rust out. I did all of the fluching in the bathtub. I coated mine both twice as well. Leave a day or so between each coating if you do it multiple times. Mine left a nice white liner in the tank that has not faded over the past 9 months, and it is really bright in there!

Thanks, I've been working hard on it. I wanted to take it with me on vacation but all the parts did'nt make it there on time. Oh well, I'm on vacation, Hopefully I'll be able to get out and do some riding here this week. I treated that tank with the kreem stuff before I left and it came out real good. If anybody uses it only pour in half of the bottle of coating and coat the tank. I poured in the whole bottle and had a heck of a time getting enough out so it would not puddle. but it came out real nice when I was done.

Well I'm back from vacation, Got the tank back on and torqued all the bolts, now I need a rear master cylinder. One of the guys on the forum is helping me out with parts headlight and misc stuff. Plastic is on, looking pretty good. anybody know what the swingarm pivot bolt needs to be torqued to? I have to rejet the carb, It wont' idle very long, looks lean its turning my chrome pipe a blueish color. Here's a couple pics on the progress.

Yeah, I cleaned my 250r up, and took it out and put the first scratches on it this last week on vacation. Hey at least I have pictures of them looking new, I went though both bikes and put in new bearings and that was a start then just got a little carried away. But it was fun working on them though. Were eating cup -O-Noodles now for dinner but the bikes look good! :D Its the 200s turn now.
