I have a 80 mns I going to restore a couple of questions I have is what is the best way to get minor surface rust out of a tank and what is the best reliner for a tank also my bike has the black and gold repainting the black isn't a problem but what can you do with the gold trim that has some rusting is it a type of paint it looks almost like some of plating any ideas how to handle it
thanks

The black is called New Yamaha Black. The paint code for this color is:

Yamaha 006G New Yamaha Black (NYB)
SKU # : 5516
Vendor : ColorRite
Manufacturer : Yamaha
Manufacturer Code : 006G

The gold is another issue altogether. Some have had decent results with gold powdercoating, but it never comes out exactly like the original. I don't know of any paint that even comes close.
