    Hi! I readed before about how to fix some dents on the tank and now i hade the time. I think the result is ok, att least I'm happy with the result.
    How to stripp the nickel plating? I'm not ready to start replating and those heat marks i don't think i can remove. The heat marks are made of previous owner.
    Cheers, Francisc IMG_20220707_223730.jpg IMG_20220707_223735.jpg IMG_20220707_223744.jpg IMG_20220707_223802.jpg IMG_20220707_223809.jpg IMG_20220711_124751.jpg IMG_20220711_124758.jpg IMG_20220711_165704.jpg IMG_20220711_165737.jpg IMG_20220711_165753.jpg IMG_20220711_165800.jpg

    I think I would try polishing first, although it is not easy to see the true damage from photos sometimes..

    @Fireexit1 i think it will work. Tested on few places and it's wonderful.
    Just need to replenish the reserv with elbow grease. IMG_20220711_182035.jpg IMG_20220711_182052.jpg IMG_20220711_182552.jpg IMG_20220711_182707.jpg IMG_20220711_183226.jpg
