Re: Stripping paint from tanks
Here are the pictures.  The moral of the story is that if you want a natural color tank, spend the extra $10 when order it and be done.  The stripper worked OK.  I was leaving it on too long and the Methylene Chloride was evaporating.  The coating definitely came off better when the stripper was on thick and still wet.    Use gloves if you are going to attempt this.  Methylene Chloride isn't very nice stuff.  It is a carcinogen in California.  Coincidently, the bright yellow paint allows the tank to defy gravity. ;D
