    Yes, if you take the tanks to be powder coated they will prep them before coating.

    Good luck getting enough people to sign up for a tune party! I have tried a few times.
    Either way, if Jan comes out here to CO, I will be there. :)

    Pretty sure the Forge is the only one out there. Just paint them if you dont like the shine...

    Will that polished finish take some powder coating?

    Also, I talked with Jan, he said he would come out to Colorado before the Dragon for a tune party! I am still working all the details out with him but he said it would take 6-8 cars for him to fly out! Once I have all the details ironed out, I will post a thread for people to sign up!

    Yes the tank will take paint or power coating. I have one and I painted mine a black wrinkle texture finish.

    I got tired of polishing /cleaning them. (RWM Coolant tank & Canton PS Tank)

    FYI- if that Canton tank does not have a real rad cap return it for one that does or the OEM plastic cap will leak on you new tank.

    Jan sells one with a real rad cap if yours only accepts the OEM cap.

    I wasn't aware Jan sold a Coolant tank...

    The canton coolant tank takes a "real" pressurized radiator cap, that was one of the main reasons for ordering it!

    Canton makes a power steering tank? Are you able to shoot me a link to it?

    Thanks! :Thumbsup:

    Oops not Canton I meant Forge for the PS tank. (My bad)
