Replacement Sportster Oil Tank roughed and primed

Had a little spare time last night and today so I roughed the factory paint on the replacement Sportster oil tank and found some primer.  I also found my old tack rag, so I quickly wiped it down and shot two coats of primer.  The primer was old and nearing the end of the can, so the spray wasn't too even.  It didn't end up real smooth, and I didn't have enough to ensure even coats or do the small cover on the other side of the bike.

I won't be able to do any more to the tank or the cover til next weekend, but my goal is to get both painted, and between coats drain the oil and strip the bike down so I can replace the oil tank.  Shouldn't be too bad (famous last words!)
