Stripping rattle can paint off the fuel tank
Posted: |September 28th, 2017|, 12:07 am
After a prolonged lay-up I'm getting my Raptor back into action!
Got the tank off to do the fuel filter and check the pump, and while it's off I want to sort the paint out on the outside.
The numpty I bought it off rattle canned it matt black and it's crazed and flaking off so need to strip it all off to repaint.
Is it safe to use a paint stripper on the tank or is it all down to sanding it off?
Then I'll be needing paint - got a spray gun and did all my old race fairings so might give it a go - unless there's a recommendation for the reasonable pro to do the job?
TIA.
Rich.
