One of my project bikes is a 2002 Triumph Bonneville in that Sky Blue / Metallic Silver color combo. This one had a dent in the tank on the right side what I have decided to try to fix on my own.
At first, I used a dent puller kit which worked to an extent. Then on one last attempt, some paint came off with the "pull", so I decided to fix it the old-fashioned way with filler and paint!
So far, I have sanded out the dent, filled it, shaped the filler to match the tank, primed it, and then 600 grit sanded the entire tank.
Then I masked the blue in prep for new silver (matched) paint on the right lower side.
More to come...
