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. I heard that some flap type disks
are better than wire brushes and are particularly good at this task.

I would not mind paying extra $$ for one if I can save two hours of
grueling labor.

Any ideas?

Any automotive paint store carries them.



Bill, thanks. This is what I was looking for. Would you have an idea
what grit I want,maybe 36?

Do not know the grit of the ones I have. Used it on an art welding project,
but bought it at Home Depot. Was a Norton Rapidstrip T27. Plus I have a
flexible backing plate called a Gatorgrit

pad to it.
