You got me wondering what a slow rust bued steel with clear coat would look like.

Here's a tip for you. If you want to turn the red rust into black rust then drop the part in boiling water. I guess, maybe, for parts like a gas tank that are large, you could probably put it in a hot heaven.
I wonder if a steam cleaner would do that.

Slow rust blue is used on old firearms and makes a beautiful finish with the steel showing through. Gunsmithing thing.

I left out one step of the process: lay cheese cloth over all the surfaces your want effected. This adds to the pattern effect of the corrosion.

You have a supercapacitor battery under the seat, or what?

Dilute phosphoric acid turns iron oxide into iron phosphate. It's black. Available at Kelly paints. Ospho or Jakes maybe. About six bucks a quart. It goes a Long way. I get years out of one.
I tried the gel once.. didn't like it. Liquid works great.

"You have a supercapacitor battery under the seat, or what?"
I have an Antigravity 8 Cell and the starter solenoid under the seat hump. Just enough room for those two along with the taillight and seat cowl latch set-up. Surprisingly works great and always at peak charge rate. It's 1/3rd the size of the typical battery. I didn't trust it at first because of the size difference...... I was wrong.

I have the same battery. If I get motivated this winter I might try moving the battery box up and under the seat to hide it.
Here's a size comparison to stock.

Minor dings and imperfections on my tank from 1972...
Is that a GT185 tank?
