Husqvarna CR 500 tank

Tank finished just need more time to finish rest of bike

Beautiful! Mick does some nice work on the tanks, he's doing a pearl white tank for me for my 83 WR 430

He sure does , Michael Hughes of 'VMX Re-Creations' in Australia Bendigo is a master and can not thank him enough top bloke and always helpful ! Here are some others he did as well.

Cheers

that KX tank is a display model...it was off to the dump as it was totally shagged but Mick just cant help himself...looks sensational

Hi there, I just got a tank repaired and sides polished ready for the same paint job. Any chance of the silver paint code you used? So far all I have to go on is that Ford 2007 silver is a pretty good match.

Hey Wildebeest ,
I have asked Mic and he responded with paint code C Map : 359D3 ? I have asked him for some more info as I would like to paint the frame in the same colour.

Cheers

Cheers, will pass that on to my painter man.

Nice tanks! You're right that silver looks like a very good frame paint color.

The edges of the decals are invisible, very nice looking. Any idea what they are and if they're for sale?

Theres a listing on Ebay for 60's - 70's Husky tank decals that are Waterslide (what ever that is) and they're also really thin. They're asking $100 for two Husqvarna decals, the Fuel Mix Ratio decal, and Made in Sweden decal. A little rich for my blood.

I've attached the paint formula.

Hey col, sent my tank off to a painter in the UK who doesn't use decals on any of his work. I've seen his stuff and it looks pretty damn good, we shall see.... He was happy with the paint code though thanks. I'll post up when I get it back as I want to recommend the dent man who did an amazing job on it too. The hi tech polishing mop in the pic is Horace, my cat. He actually did very little to help the process but invade the towel whilst I polished.
