Toyvo and bigmacdaddy......you are both bringing up valid points. Time is worth money even if only being spent doing our "hobby". And sometimes that time might be better used on a different part of the project. After reading everyone's thoughts on the issue, the thing that I thought about most was the possiblity of spending money for supplies and doing the clean and coat and having the job be less than perfect. I realize many guys have done this and have had great results, but as I have never done it I cant be so sure of my results. Because I am a huge believer in "Murphy's Law" I think the one time purchase of a new tank is best choice.
I really appreciate everyone's input. Thanks all.
Carl
