Well I would not let them dip galvanize them in zinc, otherwise, for steel bottles , the 160°C for powdercoating does not come near any temperature used in heattreating steel. Tanks are made of a steel alloy keeping its tensile strength under heat anyway ( at least here in Germany ) The normal baking temp for cars/ paintjobs is below 80°C I believe, so no reason to worry about. Totally different to aluminium. But in Europe, steel rules ocean diving ;-)) Matthias ScottBonis@ao*.co* schrieb: > > In a message dated 3/29/01 12:36:11 AM, aldo.solari@ho*.se* writes: > << I wonder what kind of paint I would have to use for cylinders. > Will a "car type" kind of paint do ? > Does it have to be dried in an oven ?
