    That domed part needs to be squeaky clean as does the bottom lip where that domed part will mate. Make sure you assemble correctly to center and level that domed circle in the bottom of the fork. When you go to tighten the bottom bolt, have the springs out and fork tubes fully compressed.

    Seeing the tank is aluminum, I say skip the paint and ride it as is.

    The milk trucks look awesome when there all dressed up. I remember seeing these '83's outside the dealers front window.
