The painting process had some challenges because there was a lot to keep in mind; working in an area that’s well ventilated, wearing the right protection like gloves and a mask, prepping the tank with the tack cloth, and having the patience to wait in between coats. I waited at least 10 mins between coats… My tank has 6 coats of matte clear! If you do the math that’s at least an hour of waiting and that was only for the top of the tank. All in all, spraying matte clear paint isn’t hard to do.

Once I was done spraying the tank, I waited a couple of days and then started wet sanding. This was probably the easiest part of the whole process. The key is to barely apply any pressure at all while wet sanding. It worked out great and now the tank is nice and smooth!
