New tank to be prepared

Just received a new (old) tank from Marty

Going to get it blasted and then the painting can begin

Will keep you informed

Here's the tank as I got it





Back from blasting





Masked up



Coated the underside with paint similar to hammerite

Once it's dry I will spray it with the same colour as the top of the tank

coming along nicely mate, looks like your doing a proper job....

[Miztaziggy]

What are you using to spray with Flatty? Air gun or cans?

[VTRDark]

Brush by the looks of it.

Lol, can't wait to see the finished product

That coating was with a brush

Thought I would use one of these for the top

That should ensure the paint is nice a smooth

Err what you using, Dulux.
