I was contacted the other day by a local Harley dealer to wet-sand and buff black matte paint and restore the original finish. Here's a quick picture of the gas tank. I'll post more before and afters when complete...
 
I am interested to see what can be done about this... Traditionally, matte doesn't get buffed at all. BUMP
 
The previous owner painted the matte over the original gloss black finish.
 
Here's a few more pics of the finished tank. This is after wet-sanding, compounding and polishing. I still have two side plates and both fenders to go.
 
Wow great save!

Can't believe how bad the previous owner butchered those tins. Somebody needs to introduce him to Plasti dip.
 
I suspect you just earned yourself a bit of repeat business. Nice!
 
Thanks! The hard part was wet-sanding off the flat paint because it turned milky white just like clear coat, so you don't know if your still on the flat paint or the original clear.
