I have several (~50) Aluminum tanks that have been condemned over the years. Most are just random drop offs at the shop.
I would like to use them in a new display. But to do this I need them to “match”. Is there an easy way (Chemical maybe?) way to get all the crap off the tanks? I can also scrape with a razor, prime, paint. I will repaint them either chrome or a metallic black.
I just don’t know what will give the most “uniform” look. I don’t have access to anything that would blast it. Do not care if it compromises the tank further, but would like it to last, so preferably something that won’t rust / Pitt the tank.
They have all been removed from service, have a hole in them indicating this. They can not be used for any type of diving / filling / pressure.
