I've finally become fed up with the blistering paint on the oldest of my
OMS 46 cylinders, and am having the cylinder exterior sand-blasted down to
bare, galvanized metal.  (I tried a chemical stripper with absolutely no
success.)  The cylinder is a dedicated oxygen sling bottle, and I plan to
mark it a la WKPP rather than replace the IANTD Nitrox band.  My
questions:  Is there any compelling reason why I shouldn't leave the
cylinder unpainted?  And should the freshly sand-blasted cylinder be
re-galvanized (if this is even possible...)?

Thanks for your help.

Ronald
