I have heard good things about POR15. Just haven't used it. With regards to Kreem, I have witnessed numerous failures. Might be the ethanol...don't know. When I find something that works I usually stick to it like glue. Especially given what it costs for a professional paint job on these bikes. A painter I'm not....

sealed tank using caswell...bought it because of quantity was just perfect for two coats..the other stuff came in the huge gallon type cans..too much waste....anyway the caswell did very well..the best thing about it was the fact it had NO TOXIC smell...did two coats and the stuff hardens like rock..very stiff rubbery rock....very ez to administer and apply...can't tell if I covered entire inside of tank but from what I could see it did coat well..thanks for the info..another thing is it was available in my province....THAT alone bowled me over..

thanks
