Andy,
I've been using Krylon spray paints on my last 3 tanks. Everything
washes off with no trouble. Frank has been using latex paint, same thing. No
protective coatings were used.
The only time that I had trouble was using Rustoleum, which has
some oil in it. The paintball goo would blister up the finish.
John P. aka Earl Scheib I can paint your tank for $4.99 .
$4.99 paint job is for 1 base coat only, masking done by owner, choice
of color not available, waiver of liability must be signed, no warranties or
guarantees are expressed or given . Payment in cash only and presented before
work is done. Your satisfaction is of no importance to us. Absolutely no
refunds. If you feel the need to sue, contact our lawyers.

Folks,
I am wondering what people have used as a protective coating for their
tanks. Currently, my Abrams is painted with a 3 coats of oil based paint. My
concern however is that that I may mess up the paint job during combat with
residue/stains from paint-balls. I imagine, to some extent, this is
unavoidable. However I am wondering if people have any thoughts on adding a few
coats of matte polyethylene or some other coating to make paint-ball battle
scars easier to wipe off. I'd rather not have to dissemble and repaint after
every battle.
Any clever suggestions are welcome.

He said that he whacked it with a hammer and then tightened the bolt to keep it in place. His process uses a toothed tool to plastically deform a workpiece by impact. There is no metal removal. Swaging is plastic deformation induced by impact or pressure and usually involves a mandrel or die, not a toothed tool.
