The scuba guys know what they're doing. They know that if they give you a quality product, you'll be coming back for more!
:P ;D hahahaha
Many divers go belly up from contaminated air fills. It also ruins the bottle cert and needs a seriously expensive service too.
Some of them won't be able to come back for more..... but I know you were only joking about!  ;)

I painted this one black, but I figure that it will chip easy! I need to get a batch of stuff together for Powder Coating so I can justify the cost.
Theres a product sold for diving gear, specifically for coating lead weights for your belt but also sold for boats et cetera
called "Plastikote". You can buy tins of it or spray cans. With the tins you dip your product, repeating for extra coats.
Very long lasting and they do it in black. Might be worth a looksy?!

Funny thing is this site for the US market concentrates on cars n' stuff:

1.   That is awesome that you are a certified Rescue Diver.
2.   That is amazing that contaminated air fills happen. What a crappy way to go.


**Turns out those Scuba guys aren't the good ones. You need to get the mexican air for your tanks if you want the really good stuff!!   ;D :D ;D

I was wondering why not powder coat the empty 88 gram cylinder.  Loads of colors and textures to choose from to give more bling.  Also a bit more durable that paint.  I know a bunch more work to get it powder coated though.

If it's not broken then modify it!

Powder Coating is the way to go, but I need a few more things to make it worth wild money wise. Then again, I have 2 88gram cart, a 9oz, a trigger frame that is screaming to be redone, an LDC. If I make a few more air strippers, I guess I will be about there and can justify the cost. My PC'r goes by the lot of same color. I'm thinking BLACK.
