.. got a great deal on ebay for this expired tank a while back, and it came expectedly alittle beat up with paint scrape streaks, dirt, stickers and surface scratches and looked generally rough but intact and no gouges or anything .. so the original plan was to wet sand it, paint the ends, and vinyl wrap the center section .. but when i finally got to the point to do it im like let me just see what happens with some meguires compound and a coat of wax ... couple hours of rubbing later and i think its passable .. alittle discolored but it sits next to my newer tank like a champ, what do ya think?
