I didn't think you could resist the urge to try. Good thing you only tried on the bottom. One thing that I may do, you may also depending on the shape your's is in, is when I get mine finished I may just paint the bottom silver. Since it's getting corroded under there. That's what the stuff you were refering to as oxizdized, it's actually (filiform)corrosision. Robert Gill Valdosta, Ga

Reply to: RE: [VAC] blast media/polishing tanks. I sandblasted our chassis and repainted it - worked fine for that. It would be a tedious way to remove solid paint from tanks! When you got done, you could never polish them, though.
For giggles & grins I blasted some of the belly skins while I was under there using both sand and plastic medium. The results were such that you could never polish the skin again. The resulting coarse elephant hide would be good for painting, and that's it.
