Okay, here are the pictures I took of mine.Don't want to bitch, but I'm not very satisfied with the powdercoat or overall quality..There are scuffs and deep scratches all over the tank like this.They also missed one side of all of the front ports, and they're rusted.And whats up with the ground up weld? I wouldn't let something like that leave my shop. So, should I just sand and paint this thign or what? I'd like it to look halway decent, even if it is going under the bed. It will be visible.

Just sent an email to Ricky at Suicide Doors. If ti doesn't get replaced, I'm investing in Aircraft Stripper. I'll fix that weld an paint it myself to match my arms and link bars..

I can Tig weld and pressure test it myself. I do it with my gas tanks all the time. I'm just not satisfied with the quality. I used to powder coat stuff at a place I worked at, and it's hard to miss stuff when you're spraying that stuff.

These are supposed to be nicer though iLLblazer. If this is normal, no problem, I'll paint it with my silver aluminum paint. Just don't care for the process of removing powdercoat. I've done enough to know it sucks..
