I picked up this old steel CO2 tank on craigs this past summer and it was out of hydro (year 2000) but it was still half full so I kept using it. It had about 5 coats of paint on it since the first recert date was like 1983. I decided to take it bare. I used some 150 grit on the angle grinder and it took all the paint and minor rust off in one pass.
One coat of auto primer, a light sanding then two coats of metalic silver. SWMBO gratiously cut out the stencil for the Overbrook Brewery. Now I just have to get it hydro'd and cross my fingers that it doesn't fail and erase all my work.
