Why not? Anyone who knows how to strip paint and re-paint metals can do it. My friends and I did it with a Suzuki once. Just sanded the fuel tank down, repainted it, stickered it, and sprayed clear overcoat paint on it.

If you end up going that route, I'd appreciate some direction and pictures. I am very interested in that look but not sure how to go about it other than finding someone to do it for me.
