The down time for this issue has sucked bad, but my biggest priority all along has been to NOT fuck up the paint job you done for me.
I could have cut the sides of the tank to clean them out, and then would have had to pay someone to weld them back up. Then would have had to pressure test and any pin holes repaired and then would have had to ship them back to you for re-paint... I think I'm going about this the cheapest and most effective way of doing it. If they were just raw tanks it would be different, but these tanks have Bad Ass, Double Vision paint on them
