I wanna strip the paint off my GPZ tank (Regular steel) and then seal it with something (I ride in the rain)

Any ideas ? I'm thinking of either a chemical answer, or a sacrificial cathode - But if I do that, then I risk building up static in the tank. (BOOM). If I solid-mount it I can prolly do the cathode on the frame, but this is really really complex.

Anyone know of a product that seals bare metal, that will be clear ?
 
aren't there some sort of silicon lubricant/sprays out there you can put on it?
 
That's what I had in mind, really. If it does start to pit, I can address it then - or just paint it.
 
I painted my rotor's parts that dont come into contact with the pads that typicaly rust. No rust on those area's yet! I used VHT Clear Coat.

Not sure how long it's gonna last without primer, but worth a look into.
 
Yeah, the primer would also need to be clear. I'm testing a spot right now with my clear primer to see exactly how "clear" it is.
 
I have a can that I got from .. uh .... Paul Francis. I got it as an aerosol.

But I found out that I can't do this look on a steel tank. It just looks like a polished frame, dull and lifeless.

The only thing left is a custom paintjob that LOOKS like brushed aluminum.\

I'm prolly gonna go orange.
 
can you do a chemical treatment of some kind?

..i have no idea.
