Default Well I said I would never do it!!!

After many years of polishing the outside and inside of the cars, I said it would never happen.
Never going to paint the underneath of the car.
But the coating of waxoyl on the fuel tank form the previous owner was very thin.
So out came the thinners and the scraper, up in the air the car went (well axle stands anyway) and away I went.
And now the petrol tank is nicely painted
Is this the start of things to come?
Or just a one off.
May do the tanks on the others too.

And now the next one
So today took the Sapphire out for a drive and to go to lunch with the wife.
Got home and look what happened.
The Sapphire was attacked, out came the scraper, solvent and of course the paint.
Now the Sapphire fuel tank is painted too
