Removing paint off a Yamaha XS250 Tank

So last night we stripped the paint off the tank using some 3M paint stripper. This was the hardest working stripper I've seen since my 21st birthdayFAT A GRAMparty.

It took off the black top coat and left the blue OEM paint underneath. There were quite a few nice dings from where it had been dropped. 1 nice one on the seam and one either side and another on the top near the fuel cap.
