That's the view @Dr. Tankenstein gets when we are riding our bikes.

At times, I've considered dulling down the tank, but I've really been enjoying the contrast of it against all of the patina.
I didn't want to bring that up, but now that you mention it..... *bobs eyebrows*![]()

Don’t paint itWhat does everyone think? Is the contrast of the shiny tank a cool thing or is it too out of sorts with the build?
Would dirty-ing up the tank with some earth tone acryllic paints do the job? Or should I consider painting it with my colonial red and ivory bisque?
This ^^^Don’t paint it
One of the hardest things about creating patina is knowing when to quit.What does everyone think? Is the contrast of the shiny tank a cool thing or is it too out of sorts with the build?

I WOULD NOT paint it or weather it.
If you want patina on the tank, just grease it a bit. That way, it can be easily cleaned, later on, if you want the shine back.
Light dirty work with grey or light brown acrylic on tank might be a good way to go. Same application can be made to the grips as well.
