Default Painting help

Are there any good threads or resources on prepping and painting a bike? There is some rust on my gas tank and I am trying to sand it down and re-paint it, but I've never done it before and don't know where to start.

Thanks!

Hot Rod magazine has a special issue on painting your car out right now. As your tank is metal and not plastic, follow thier directions and tips and you will get good results.
