hey i live an hour and a half away from lewis center and just purchased a 225 peninsula tank and the back panel was painted black and trying to get it back to its original form i can easily drop tank off and pick up
HaHa! I wish you the best of luck. It's not a fun process but rewarding.

That tank came out stellar! Well done

I don't know much about orbitals but is there a good brand orbiter i can get at home depot? I am familiar with wet sanding as i wet sanded some nano acrylic tanks and then polished everything by hand but would love to get something that can get the job done faster
Good advice from jandb jandb

Home Depot has a palm held sander that is less than $40 and has a square base. I prefer the square ones since they make easy work of corners. These are a must to tackle this type job.
