Prepair tank for painting

#1 PostAuthor: needaz1100r » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:03 pm

Guys,

Once a tank is clean and leak free what do you do before sending it off for painting to stop rust forming inside?

Obviously don't want WD40 r anything else sloshing around inside.
Cheers,

Mark.

Sent mine off last week, cleaned out rust free and sealed with flow line, done a great job I thought, the paint man said I should have let him sort out a small dent before I lined it, bugger, just hope it does not make the liner part from the steel.

Once it's clean and dry it shouldn't need anything.

I don't like tank liners , some people say they have had no problems, the most I've seen have had issues coming away
