As many of you know, I have a tank problem, from fibe years (almost) gas sitting in the tank. I bought a good tank, with a bad finish. I'm documenting the rstor of it here.
Phase One - the easy part. I used the evap tank to rehone my finishing skills. It was presentable to most, but not to me. Stripped to bare metal, primed, wet sanded & 3 final coats of black satin. Three days later - wet sanded with 800 grit, Turtle Wax rubbing compound, and Meguiars Show car Glaze. Too shiney, but blame it on intense wet sanding! Pics show it all. Pat Phase Two - Fuel collar. Not too bad after some high grit sanding. We'll see how tha finish coat sticks. Stay tuned, because the tank comes next! For those who think I'm sitting on my ass, pontificating - think again!

John, I like some of the POR products too. After I strip the part to metal, I'll use their Marine clean then Metal ready prior to paint. A little zinc coating for some added insurance. Bust'n a move on that tank Pat. Can't wait to see it finished.

Maybe Monday. Damn! Pat PS: I just realized this afternoon that everything I shot was NOT a Rustoleum product. Was, in fact, Krylon. Shame on me! Pat |
