Dunno where these guys are, but I'll assume the States. Might be worth a look though if you need help restoring your old plastics.

I wonder how they get them so good must be some products/chemicals it is hard to sand and polish and get a finish like that thanks, Michael.

Depending on where you are in AUS there are plastic repair companies that can do same.

All down to prep and paint ;)

Paint? That doesn't fix the tank alot of plastic tanks never had any paint on them so if you want it to look original you can't really paint it. That is like the old saying you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter thanks, Michael.

I should have looked at the add with my glasses on ::) doh

For some reason i went to the tank resoration pics and saw the photo's in the spray booth.

Great how they can change a tank that has lost it's colour to brand new.
