I am restoring my car and thought I would clean up the tank and give it a fresh coat of paint. I used some standard Rustoleum on a gas tank that has been treated with Renu several years ago. The paint still has not dried and it has been almost a week? I suspect I've used the wrong paint, but what do I do now - strip it and repaint? - wait 'til it dries (may be Spring)? - get a new tank?

I was once told that rattle can enamels never really dry...ever...
It never cures like a two stage paint or two part paint with catalyst paint cures... Given that... I would say apply heat, a light of any type, or bring it inside for a few days... If all else fails, it can easily be removed with laquer thinner... Rich |
