Default Fastest way to remove rust and paint from flat steel surface/

I have a rectangular fuel tank that has some rust and flaking paint.

I want to remove both and re-prime and repaint, so that the tank looks
less menacing.

Attempts to do it with a wire brush on a 4.5" angle grinder were kind
of successful, but too slow and painful.

I would like to find a better way.

Take it to a body shop and have them hot tank it. About $20.


You mean regular car body shops?
