I just did a custom orange paint job on my M2. My tank is a factory replacement due to factory peeling. It was fine for years then I scuffed lightly primed painted and cleared. Sure enough now I have bubbles. HELP! |

I had my bike repainted (the first time) with PPG products and never had a problem with the bubbling. If you use products that let 'outgassing' of the tank occur unimpeded, the bubbles shouldn't be a problem. |
