I am starting to get back into getting 1948 back up and running to enjoy again. At some point during the years the fuel filler hose developed a crack and moisture got in and rusted the inside of the tank.
My best friend was able to source me a fuel tank from a wrecked JDM GVR4 and I want to prep and repaint it.
For those that have repainted their fuel tanks...what did you use to strip the original paint? Aircraft paint remover or regular sanding?
I started to sand it but its tedious work and feel there has to be a better way.
Also what paint did you guys use to paint the fuel tank? I am thinking of using VHT wrinkle paint for the tank.
Thanks in advance.
