I took my HP 80 into my LDS for it's VIP, and not surprisingly they discovered a little surface rust inside (I've heard HP tanks are more susceptible to rust), so it needs to go out for a tumble. Since it's due for its first hydro within 6 months, I decided to get everything done all at once
My understanding is that the hydro date is stamped on the tank shoulder after they hydro is done. Do I need to do anything as far as paint or clear coat for where the new hydro date is stamped to keep the outside surface from rusting? If the hydro involves stamping the tank, won't that disturb the surface galvanizing?
