This is an excellent forum to help get ideas off each other I know I have used heaps of advice. And it has helped alot. I would like to see how the pearl grey turns out as I think it would blend in nice with alloy.

hmmm you got a point there, might try out the pearl gray then

Pearl grey just sounds sharp with the alloy hope it turns out ok. May do the same as black is nice but a change is nice too.

any way that you can mask an area that you whont dye this way on the gas tank, ex. a stripe? don't think that masking tape will keep the paint away :S

Try fiberglass tape very strong ,however I don't know about the adhesive of the tape.

I think the dye will just soak straight through it but you can always try.
