I red koted the inside of my atc70 gas tank 10 years ago but I'm rebuilding the trike and will be powder coating. My question is do I need to remove the coating with acetone before they powder coat it? And if I have to remove it what can I do to prevent it from rusting while they do it? I'd hate to put muriatic acid in it to etch it and get it on the coating.
Second is I have a dent on the front of the tank from the steering stop being bent and the forks going too far and hitting the tank. How can I fix this so it can be powder coated? I don't think I can use bondo so what do I use? Jb weld? Real weld?
