External tank rust

[vixtor]

Hello,

I have posted the following message in the Tanks area:
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/tanks-valves-bands/292639-faber-outside-rust.html

Considering that the tank is a Mares branded Faber, I have considered asking here about advice.


The issue is that with a normal painted tank I would consider repairing/painting the spot, but what to do with this rubber-like paint?

Hi all,
You present a good question. First let me state I do not know the answer for sure. We do not offer the tanks in N. America, so I'm not familiar with the coating. This may be a question for Faber or the Faber distributor depending where you are located. My guess is Faber does the coating on the tanks. Last time I was in Italy, I did not see a paint shop or dipping station at the office for tanks. Not to say we don't do the coating, it would just surprise me.

If you contact Faber, I'm sure they can offer some guidance.
