Also shows why you should ALWAYS tape off the filler hole when painting fuel tanks.



Brian,

My painter did not tape off the filler hole when he painted my S2A. What kind of trouble am I looking at down the road & what can I do about it?

The paint might start peel up under the paint. Take a X acto or the like and cut the paint around the outside diameter, just outside the sealing surface. If it does start lifting, it will not get to the good paint.
