So, I have my gas tank out and painted it yesterday and now am looking for replacements for the pads under the tank. The one I took out looked like it was made out of cloth or cotton-ish material. In searching for a replacement that won't hold moisture (the one I took out looked like it caused a small patch of rust on the tank which I cleaned before painting) so I was in a dollar store and found a 5 pack of scrubbing pads. PERFECT, $1 for 5 pads which only need to be cut on one side to match the original size; the thickness was a great match. Now I'm second guessing my selection in that this scrubbing pad might scrub off the paint on the body and tank. I wonder if it would move enough to scratch off the paint? What do you think?
