Unpainted Brass OFT with Label

[CSteve]

Here is my brass stripped of paint overflow tank with the correct label. The tank has been w/o a label for six months, so I will see how I like this long term.

Please free to post your opinions, humble and not so.

I think it is quite nice looking. Thank you for posting as I did not realize that the tank had a sticker. Mine was painted black at one time. Do you think that the engine heat will work on the sticker and dry it out? That might be what happened to mine and the car living in the south.

I'm going to keep my naked tank sans decal, I like seeing the "BEHR" stamping. Thanks for posting.

For me, going to the length of polishing the beautiful brass to expose its nature is an "all in" proposition. I think the sticker interrupts that purity. You are either dead on original with black paint and sticker, or wonderfully polished and "naked". My opinion. That said, your tank is beautiful (yours too @Stevehose).

Ah, laddies and lassies just the kind of discussion I was looking for. I am trending with Stephen( Autokunst) and Stevehose. As soon as I put it on I had some misgivings.
And like it better on a painted black tank. Anyone notice the Three Steves in this post?

I like it painted with the sticker and polished without.

Got to say I like it painted too…sticker on

I like originality as much as possible

Well, that didn't take long. Sticker comes off today. Didn't last 24 hours. Agree, Steve, about the BEHR stamping. And the constructive criticism of others. That's one of the things I love about this Forum.

Can you clarify? Did you take it off, or did it not last?

I think he's pulling it off for aesthetic reasons, not adhesive ones

Right, Steve. It is the aesthetics. It does not look right, out of proportion, covers too much of the lovely brass. Like the look of the BEHER stamping.

Late to the party, I like polished without sticker. Brass tanks pretty rare, have seen very few. I suppose they are OE on some and not others.
