Hello from Norway.
I have been working with restoring my Kreidler RMC-S from 1981 for about 3 years (did find it after 32 years).
Most parts are now in place, but my chrome fuel tank is not in very good shape, and it has been painted with black powder paint
I have tried to fix it and paint it with chrome paint, but it is 1-component paint, and do not like gasolin.
So I would like to get a new chrome tank.
I did order one with kreidleroriginal.com (Portugal) in 2015, but has not got any yet. And they do not answer me if they will make any more chrome tanks in the future.
Is there any other way to get a new tank ?

Re: Kreidler RMC-S chrome tank
Yes, I learned that the chrome paint is not good. Result was OK, but not strong paint.
I have found a company that sell a transparent film/coating I can put on top of chrome paint, to protect against gasolin.
I will test this to see the result.
The problem with my tank is that it has 2-3 damages in the metal, and I assume this is not so easy to fix.
Every bump in the metal will show up when adding chrome to the tank.
Is there anything I can do with this, to make the tank even and nice before addidng chrome?
As an alternative, I can try to find a tank on ebay, which is not damaged like mine.
Or the best thing is if kreidleroriginal.com can make me a new one. But not sure if they do this anymore.

Re: Kreidler RMC-S chrome tank
Send some pictures of the damage to Tolenaar electro metaal and ask for information about the repair.
Spray chrome is not that good.
