It would get blasted no matter what. Or at least the the powdercoat guys that i have seen do, just to make sure that all the contaminats(sp?) are off the tank. Hope that helps

Default Why PC a Gas Tank?

I'm not sure why you'd powder coat gas tank since you get get some "really" durable paint???? Also, do NOT shoot it a dark color as it will absorb heat... If you're realy anal, get the POR 15 coating system (rock hard and air tight) but it's a pain to work with... I used it on my frame and while it's hard and durable I could have just used an epoxy primer with just as good results....
