Thank you for taking the time to write such an excellent, detailed response, DR. Your custom paint job is beautiful, and it reflects your professionalism. I fear I do not have the knowledge, experience, skill, and equipment to reproduce your results with automotive paint.

However, I know I can employ the “rattle can” method. Occasional “touch up” paint jobs would be pesky, but not too difficult to perform.

If I may ask, how difficult would it be to paint the Zong’s fuel tank orange? The finished product would resemble the retouched photograph below, which represents the visual transition from the plastic shroud to the fuel tank. Of course, I would paint the tank gloss orange; however, I cannot simulate the gloss orange paint with the graphics tools I have available to me.



If I were to pay a local professional to paint the fuel tank for me, can you estimate the approximate cost?
