So at the recommendation of people on here I hunted down a much nicer gas tank.
It's leak free with a good petcock, only surface rust and one tiny ding.
I plan on stripping to metal, etching primer, filling primer, black auto paint and a two part urethane matte clear to coat all with rattle cans.
My main question is how to handle the Yamaha logo bracket/indent.
I've read a post here where someone mentioned filling the screw hole with weld but that's not an option for me.
If I'm not mistaken the alternative is to cut away as much of the tab as possible with a dremmel or grinder and then filling the dent with body filler.
Am I on the right track here?
It looks like I can spray in the shop at work over the holidays so I'm excited to get started.
