| Re: Cylinder Paint
Hi Graham,
I don't know Heisers here in oz, but the cylinders are either powdercoated or 2pac enamel. Your brotherinlaw will be able to tell... and will be best able to advise which process he would use. He can either paint strip or rub back depending on the condition of the existing paint.
If the yellow has adhered properly from the start, it can remain as a base coat, and further paint can be applied on top of it..
However, all paint will eventually chip, and the undercolour may appear eventually and the cylinder will show signs of wearing over time and will need to be renewed...
Also, understand that to pay for such a process from an automotive shop will not usually be economical unless you know someone....
and btw, the cylinder valve is removed, and a (plastic) plug is inserted and the tank is hung from the plug and then painted.
Hope this helps,
Cheers, JDZ |
