S90: Bare Metal

Continued with sanding the tank down to bare metal.  Tried out the 3M "Sandblaster" sanding pad and sponge, both 80 grit.  I found myself switching back and forth between the sponge, the pad, and regular sandpaper, simply depending on what kind of surface I was working on.  The sponge and pad were definitely good for some of the tight, curved areas.  But there were also areas where nothing could beat plain old sandpaper.  It was good to have all three to choose from as I went along.

The plan is to paint it flat black, just to see how it looks on the bike.  But the bare steel looks interesting, too.  I may hold off on painting it for awhile...
