If you use products that let 'outgassing' of the tank occur unimpeded, the bubbles shouldn't be a problem.   Cyclonemduece Posted on Monday, June 16, 2008 - 08:46 pm:        i had mine painted 5 years ago with dupont paint and nothing heppened, i am going ppg this time tho.   Kmanning Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - 08:26 pm:        Thanks guys PEACE OUT
