Black R gas tank - where to buy?

[Doc86R]

anyone seen these for sale lately?

I havent seen one anywhere, but the things i were thinking of were, either get somekind of black gas tank cover or send the tank off to get dyed black if you can find someone that dyes tanks.

Buy it direct from Honda, thats what color they are now.

for $300 i'd try somewhere else. ims will custom make you one for $225.

that much for a tank!!!!! holy moly!!! that is crazy! stick with the one you have! geeze!

I saw the price tag for the red one at partsfish and was afraid aftermarket would be about the same - never thought of dyeing the tank. I used to dye the plastic wheels on my R/C stuff black - i may clean up an old one and give that a try, thanks. I don't think it will hurt to allow the dye inside the tank, that stuff didn't seem to be affected by the nitro R/C fuel.

Any other thoughts, cautions?
