Radiator Tank Paint was created by PhilC

Hello
I have just removed the tanks from my 944's radiator as they are full of rust. I am going to sand blast the inside of the tanks and I want to paint the inside. What is the best paint to use for this purpose? I will be using a corrosion inhibitor in the future.

Regards

Phil

While I think it is a bad idea to paint surfaces inside a cooling system component, there is a paint for such use called Glyptal ..............I think.

There was a recent thread dealing with an engine rebuild where it was used inside the water jackets.

D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time:D

Thanks ccjersey I was a bit worried about the heavy pitting in the bottom housing, so I thought painting it might preserve it but I guess the corrosion inhibitor will have to suffice.
