Tank re-line by radiator CO or other pro's?

I saw a post a while back where someone had their tank re-lined by a radiator Co for like $80. I am looking for more info. I called a few shops here and none of them offer that service. I found a couple Co's that charge $280+ to do it  :o

I used Kream and it was total crap.  :flipoff: After one year the coating has started comming off and cloging everything up. After that I have lost all interest in trying any other DIY tank coatings.

Anyone have a local shop that will professionally re line a tank cheap?

Oh you POoR thing!

Tis a shame you've lost that DIY feeling. Of course having to clean out a mess is worse than the original PORblem. You ought to just pack the thing up and sweet talk Srinath into helping you (sending him several $20 bills is sweet talk to himĀ  :laugh: ).

Oh Srinath! I hear OpPORtunity knocking!

Did I mention that I think POR-15 is a good product?

What ... no ... its a PITA ... removing the freaking kreem, forget it. A mistake I'll never make again.
Of course if your tank is clean and definetly definetly definetly free of holes etc ... and you paid me like $100 I may ... may may may try it. If you have any iffy spots ... you are screwed. Then of course 50 for coating. Honestly it took me 4 days and unbelieivable ass busting work to get it off the one tank and its not a 100%. I can POR it as well for that same $50, but a kreem job is better by far IM Not So HO.
A thin thin thin kreem job is imminently removable, thick kreem is not. Thin POR is removable, but it will sorta flake up and re stick ... hard to get it out of there. Thick Kreem is a nightmare and hard hard hard, thick POR is impossible.
Cool.
