    If you can't that tank white again, might I suggest these decals: http://mxm.co.uk/?page_id=17&category=13
    I've owned 3 WR400 LC (twin shock), and I always used the perforated tanks decals for MXM to "dress" the old tanks. Once in place and cured, they wear like iron. Takes about 7-10 days for delivery from the UK. And, BTW, you're 400 is looking good!

    Vintage Roost carries the same decals. I bought a set of side panel decals and had trouble applying them to the DC side panels. I prepped the surface using alcohol and it wasn't enough to allow a good bond.
    Next time I may hit the plastic with a heat gun first and then use another type of cleaner.

    Had the same issue with my DC Yamaha plastics, heat gun on the surface and decal did the trick.
