Painting Water Tanks...
Here is the problem, I have 5 of these...
http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/5c/fe/3a_1_b.JPG When they have water in them ,the sun makes the water go green :-( I also have two 1500l black barrels, these don't suffer from this problem. So, I though it would be a good idea to paint them! Off down the road I went, and bought a 400ml can of Hunter Green "Plasti-kote" spray paint for £5.95 This £5.95 worth of paint didn't even cover one side on one tank!! ...and lots of light was still getting through it anyway... Any ideas on a better method, or cheaper paint I can use! (Could I use normal oil based paint, applies with a paint brush? I do have a compressor and a spray gun (But have not used this yet, and have no idea what paint I can use, or where to get it either!) I suppose I could box them in with wood (WBP Ply?) Thanks for any suggestions! Sparks... |
