Well it looks like the tracker tank is going to need some of that there POR15... fuel kind of bleeding every so slowly thro to the surface in one particular spot. Matt reading your bike build pots it would appear that it has worked on your CB200 tank which I would say looked a lot worse than mine. My question is as I'm under the cosh to get the bike built up for the Stafford show I really could do with getting the tank sprayed asap. So would I be able to seal it once it has been sprayed or would I risk ruining the paint job??.... any advice greatly appreciated 👍... cheers, Michael

I'd have to say it would be way above my level of testicular fortitude! The etch solution is phosphoric acid and I'd hate to guess what a professional paint job costs   
Seal first and paint after for me.
The other way around, you might consider the POR patch kit, here;

Great news... I'm very hopeful reading all the positive comments that it will do the job on my tank as like I say it's not dripping through it's more a case of bleeding through. I get a damp patch (oo eerr vicar😁) in one part over about a week..... I'll let you know the results. Cheers, Michael
