-4- The Tank
Posts:
cleaning the tank

This is a tricky one. Under this -nice- layer of paint is an aluminum tank. I want the alu look.. so the solution is only one layer of paint away.

It still is strange feeling, removing your own spacial paint... what has to be done, has to be done..

as the tank get cleaner.. the rest gets dirtier..But the result is beyond my expectations. A completely clean tank, no bondo needed to fix welds or dents!! The only thing that is left is the big dent that I produced myself...

Look at those welds, this is dutch craftsmanship at it best..

What needs to be done is fine sanding and polishing...
