Does anyone know if it would be possible to strip a painted steel tank (worthington) then getting it hot dipped? Might be a lot of trouble.... but if not hey its better than paint.

I believe this is correct, and I've seen painted tanks with exactly that kind of... wound.FIXXERVI6:My understanding is if I gash the tank down to the metal, the zinc spray will not protect the scratch because of the paint coating.
Sell them to a freshwater diver and buy yourself some Pressed Steel tanks. I've never heard of an effective after-market hot-dip galvanization process.FIXXERVI6:just trying to think of a way to extend their life
