I want a honda logo on my gas tank. Should I go the paint or decal route? This is the look I am trying to achieve.

I would spray the whole tank. Doing only an area will leave overspray that is hard to "blend" into the paint job. I did this recently. Tape off the cap and petcock. Wipe the tank down with rubbing alcohol and then wet sand it lightly with 1200-1600 grit sandpaper. The paint will look hazy, that's OK. Wipe it down with alcohol again, let it dry, and then give it a couple/three light coats of clear. Took me less than 2 hours.
 
Sorry for not going into better details. You should wet sand the tank with 1000 grit wet paper wipe it down with prep solvent or wax and grease remover.put on your decal than spray 3coats of clear on the tank.
