I have a bunch of steel tanks that need some love. Anyone know of a service in NJ that will strip and paint steel tanks? ( I can do it but I'd rater spend the time on other things) Doesnt even have to be the whole tank, really just the bottoms need to get done.
Tank reconditioning.

Are they spray galvanized Fabers? something hot dipped but then painted too? or older completely ungalvanized tanks?
I'd go directly to a full service hydro place servicing industrial cylinders - but also would talk to them about exactly what you want done and why. Most everyone will blast them (not use a chemical stripper) and you could end up with all the sprayed on zinc removed...
Where are you in Jersey?
In Baltimore, so maybe too far?
I got 17 tanks hydro'd here a few months ago. He knew all about the pre-stretch needed on galvanized and offered O2 cleaning. I did not ask about strip / paint, but he deserves a call. Was $15 or $17 / tank for hydro, I think another $5 / tank for O2 clean.
Little bit of a drive for you though? He had them done by the next day.
He was great to deal with and is on the board @BMS_Erik
