I'm down to three potential ideas for my tank.
The first is to celebrate the long and lustrous history of the penny in Canada. Our Glorious Leader, the Prime Minister has decided that we shouldn't have pennies anymore. So I was thinking of maybe doing something about that, and either encasing the tank in pennies (heavy), or doing a penny stripe off centre, aligned with the gas cap. I found a picture of a chopper with pennies tiling the tank, and liked the idea.
The second is a metallic gunmetal grey (boring... but easy and light.)
The final, stay with me here, is inspired by Twilight. I hate Twilight. Stupid books, bad movies, and my wife makes me watch them (but then, I make her watch the Fast and the Furious, so we're probably even.) What I hate the most about Twilight is that the vampires (spoilers!) sparkle in the sunlight. Sparkly vampires. Insipid.
But, it might be cool to have a bare metal tank with a sparkle clear coat. So at night it's a matte metal, and it sparkles in the daylight (or in headlights.) Might be neat-o.
So... convince me. I'm still working on how to even mount pennies to my tank, so #1 may get ruled out unless I can figure out a solution.
