With that being said, When or if I ever decide to dress up the 2 of my 350x's that have plastic tanks. I will be coating the inside of them with red-kote so that the stickers will remain on the tank.

I was reading some of the instructions from Red Kote and it appears they don't recommend using it on plastic tanks for the bonding issue. Not because it will damage anything. I'm thinking about maybe putting some sand in the tank and sloshing it around real good to roughen up the surface.
My hope is that the red kote will prevent the white plastic from discoloring. Of course, I don't even have the tank yet but it's next on the list.

Teaching quads a lesson
well i just ordered some off ebay, 1 qt. i have an extra t3 tank i will try it out on before i go ahead and do it in my good tank. will probably be a few days before i get it, but when i do i will post up some pics and results for yah if you want. i have heard you just pour the stuff in, slosh it around inside the tank and then drain it, and let it dry, sometimes for a couple days, sometimes a week or so depending on how thick the coating is inside.

I've used it before in a metal tank. It's very, very thick and works awesome on metal tanks. My only real concern would be how well it will bond to the plastic.
It did stain the paint job on my 200x tank a little bit when I spilled a small amount on it. Might be wise to cover the outside of the tank in masking tape or something.
