Hi guys!
This is a fuc.... problem....

Now, just when "I'm seeing the light", with hundred and hundred hours of hard work on my Gilera XR1....
Here the last problem.......
Well, both lateral stickers, fortunately found in England, in 20 years, without protection paper, have changed color!
They are dark blue!!!! (you can see the correct color in the rounded cropping sticker).

And now?
Again to search stickers......
Yes!!!!!

Incredible! I've found an other couple of lateral stickers for my Gilera XR1 fairings!
In an historical Gilera dealer, near Arcore (near Milan).

First couple of stickers, in 20 years, without protection paper, have changed color! (dark blue!!!!)
And they have changed dimension too!!!

Well..... now you can see the correct color and dimension in the new couple of stickers!

.... I'm die hard!!!!!
Ahahahaha!!!!

Maybe you have started at the wrong end

Kreem is a good solution. It comes with a degreaser, a deruster and the sealing itself.
It is a mess (you have to heat up all these liquids over a time) to seal a tank by yourself, but it's worth.
I have done it twice. My Saturno #uno tank in '91 and on my old ('78) Y****a
I have just ordered a set for the second GFR fuel tank.
Be carefull (if you will do the work) the deruster is something like phosporic acid.
It will rapidly eat up your new painting if you manage to bring some of this stuff on your tank !
I prefer to seal the tank inside *before* starting the paint job

Hope to get it done over the christmas time.

good luck, Joachim
