Title: 550 K1 Tank project
Post by: Davelu88 on June 21, 2019, 07:39:18 PM: Hi all , i decided to strip my spare tank & repaint it as a bit of a project , so a tin of Nitromors and i was off , it took a few applications of the stuff but it got the paint off fairly easy , a couple of very small dents were filled and then primer . Ive got to sand some high areas down but overall pleased with it , not sure about colour yet but i might do a block colour as that will be easier. Stopped for a tea break & the cat drunk it when my back was turned. ;D ;D

Make sure you check for leaks on the tank before final paint..
They have a habit of leaking at the seams as a hobby.
