I listed this Bultaco Mercurio tank a few months ago in bare metal. I thought that the small hammer dents leftover from the craftsman who made it were cool, but it didn't sell. I spend a lot of time filling the dents and grooves and allowing the filler material to shrink before I started painting. I primered and sanded three times before starting with the paint. I laid down one layer and waited three days before sanding. I repeated the process 12 times before I switched to 600 grit sandpaper and then to rubbing compound. 


Every photo becomes a self-portrait because of the highly polished surface. There is no clear coat. What you see is polished paint. It isn't perfect. The filler neck is rough, but with the cap on no one will notice. I included the old naked tank photos for reference. See last 4 photos. There was a small dent in the right front that I filled. 

There are very few Bultaco Mercurio tanks available and even fewer that look this good.

This tank will be carefully packaged and insured.

CCS launches MFA degree programs

Fri, 30 Jan 2009

The College for Creative Studies in Michigan, USA, is set to launch new Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree programs in Design and Transportation Design. The new courses, which launch in Fall 2009, will give students a broad scope of skills and experience in 2D and 3D design, and will include a basic study in business that will take place at the University of Michigan's respected Stephen M Ross School of Business. CCS says that this will equip graduates with the tools required to implement concepts and make strategic decisions - increasingly important parts of a 21st century car designer's skillset.
