    Oil tank restoration

    I would appreciate any tips on how to beat go about a strip and repaint.

    Thanks!

    I had mine hot tanked at a local radiator place, came out nicely back to copper base, then just repainted satin black.

    I made a chemical paint removal and a chemical rust removing.
    Actually it is in the powder Coating shop.
    Tomorrow when I got it back, I will protected the inside with a Special gun rust protection.

    Powder coat?

    How did you prevent them from getting blasting media inside?

    Frank, threaded holes I locked with a screw. For the oil gauge I turned an Aluminium plug and the rest of the holes are locked with temperature stabil tape.
    We did this with a 3,0l SC tank with sucess. And then flushing with fuel.
    Today I will receive the tank back...let`s see.

    Today I got the tank back. No dirt inside. I flushed it and "rust protected" it with Motul V300.
