The tank liner stuff went well. It is silvery with what I presume are aluminum particles. Now begins the waiting as it cures for 4 days.
I got the exhaust back from the peen blaster. As expected, it has given the surface a little texture. The sparkplug left in as a thread protector appears untouched. Bizarre.
The muffler was not run through the machine; the operator was concerned that it might not survive the ordeal. I picked up a can of paint stripper and it has worked really well. I need to do some touch up removal and clean the residue off and it will be ready to paint.
