Hydro Dipping A Tank
Discussion
I've bought a black Street Triple than has had it's damaged tank replaced with a red one
So I can either paint it black or for the same price (circa £180) get it hydro dipped - carbon or similar
A quick google shows if done correctly, it should be long lasting
As I'll sell it on eventually, would a hydro dipped tank put you off buying (it's a Cat N so will be cheaper anyway) or would it make it more attractive as it's a bit different ?

Personally I'd want paint, I just think carbon hydro-dipping just looks cheap (which is it compared to having something made from carbon fibre).
It's your bike though so do what you want, if you prefer the carbon look do it, but be mindful that it may not appeal to others regardless of cat status.
