Re: Cylinder Paint

Baking cylinders weakens them in ways not detectible to standard visual inspections conducted by dive centres.

You would be placing the filler and anyone around them at a nasty and unnessecary risk by doing so.

Good auto body spray paint properly applied with a clear coat seal should make your tanks super sleek without any damage to the tanks, although it will hide any surface corrosion making the tank's exterior harder to inspect for damage.

Cheers

Seb
