Hi all,
I am in the process of restoring an 84 Maico/M-Star and am desirous of having the tank refinished. It is in good shape with no gouges or deep scratches so mostly will need cleaning and polishing imo. Looking for recomendations to have this done professionally or in -home garage solutions that I may pursue myself. Also seeking correct side panels for this machine and have only come up with the DC plastic ones which are matte finish and not my first preference. Ive tried socal maico and koestler to no avail so far , will consider used originals in good shape if anyone has some out there. As a last ditch alternative I think the 83 panels will work but arent the right ones for it so not sure where this will lead,
Thanks for your time and input..

It was a lot of hard work and finished with fine plastic polishing finishing compound on a felt polishing wheel and then polished with a dry soft felt polishing wheel.
Result was ok as you will see below tank pic, but wouldn't fancy having to do it again.
I had a tank redone and he sent these back with it..
