Petrol tank re-spray

[vtrjock]

Helloo.
Currently painting my missus's bike (sv) and the last bit to do is the tank.
Imagine my delight when, having removed the pre-formed tank protector, I find out that water has been sitting behind it, corroding the paint and metal beneath.
I've rubbed this area down to bare metal but there is still a very small area of very fine pitting.
Any ideas on treating this? I do not want to blast the whole tank.I have considered a very fine skin of bodywork pug.

Clean it up as best you can - use some rust remover gel in the pits, wash off well and dry . Fill pitted area with P38, flatten smooth with wet&dry then spray etchprime to cover repair area and exposed metal. Add undercoat, finish coats and lacquer. Slap another tank protector on...

LOL you make it sound so easy

I would etch prime before filling and only on bare metal.

Cheers fellas. I've now gone a similar route.

This is the front section, the colour is like a metalic lilac which goes pop! in the sunlight.
