Is it a like a glue? Where do you get it from? Do you put it on the decal? Any prep to the tank?

Search Ebay for "Red Kote". It's about $35 for a quart and the quart can do a few atv tanks. Once the quart is opened you MUST get it to seal completely when done and the remainder is put back in it. If you don't it will dry out fairly quickly.

The tank prep is easy. I rinse all my tanks out with ascetone and then let it dry. Once dry I coat the tank per directions on the can.

Red Kote or Kreeme is a tank sealand. It seals the inside of the tank to keep holes or leaks from leaking. It is mostly used in metal tanks that has the normal pin holes or seam leaks. It also can be used in plastic tanks to keep the gas from fading the tank and/or keep stickers from pealing off due to the fumes.
You line the inside of the tank completely and you should be able to add the stickers. You could also get a sticker company cut hundreds of very small holes in the vinyl and this would help it breathe.

here is a pic of my close to 3 year old decals and just one of the reasons i chose red coat is because I was coating a red tank.
I still can see the fuel level in daylight too.

johnI've seen that Tecate in person. It's a damn good looking T3.

Mike I had some paint mixed at my local paint shop the other day and saw it on the shelf there. You might go down to your local paint shop and check.
