Bmoto1 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Moisture built up behind the placcards on my B-61 model tanks, had to cut out the rusted area. figure there is rust and weld metal in the tanks. got a radiator shop willing to re-furb and powder coat them. Any thing I should be aware of? They said powder coat and chrome were close in price. never saw chromed tanks, must be a reason- powder coat more durable? these are rectangular 40 gal tanks. figure it is worth the $ to keep junk out of fuel filters.

Lmackattack Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Powder coating is farely cheep compaired to chrome. For refrence I had a go cat frame and 4 rims sand blasted and powdercoated for $250. Its stronger than regular paint as its baked on. I have not had anything chromed but have had quoits for the trim on the hood and all the little pices were going to coast me around $300 with no gaurentee of the finishTrent.

Bmoto1 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks for the info. I'll definetly powder coat the tanks, and probable the front bumper too- all that black should look fine, maybe I'll add the piece of bar stock that goes in front of shutters on bars from bumper- don't know what it is called, but I'm tired of moving it around the garage Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1105-fuel-tank-refurb/#findComment-5718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
