I could use a little advice from the more experience engineers than I. I just picked up a used tank for $60 from my shop, who were holding it for another customer to sell. It's either a PST 104 or a Faber 108, I believe it's the PST because I can't see any white on it at all. I can't make out any markings other than "DOT3AA 2400" and everything else is obscured with his hack job painting. It actually appears that he did something like a vinyl dip on the outside and then painted it. Anyway, there are several spots where the coating has completely chipped off down to the bare metal, and there is absolutely ZERO rust on those bare spots, which is making me believe it must be a galvanized PST.
What I want to know is if I have it glass bead blasted at work (I've had 3 aluminum tanks blasted this way that came out looking great), is there any chance that the glass bead could damage the galvanized surface?
Thanks guys,
Jim
