    Eventually all will peel or flake.

      Red-Kote is amazing, if done correctly and with patience. Kream, POR, any kit stay away from.

        Not sure how you can categorize Por-15 with kream. Around here por-;5 gets the highest ratings for a liner. If you have rusted out pin holes go for casewell. I have heard of redcoats but don't know much about it.

          I've used Por-15 on two tanks with great success. Completely read, understand and follow the directions. No short-cuts here.

            I've used Caswell Coatings liners on 2 tanks. Worked great on the first one and is fairly easy to use. I haven't yet put gas in the second tank but think it is going to be fine. Just google "Caswell Coatings.'

              I used Caswell 1 season ago because I had pinholes. Easy to use and so far it's holding up fine.

                I did POR15 on a tank several years ago. Used as instructed it's great. Tank is still fine.

                  +1 on the POR-15. Just coated the tank on my GS 1150 restoration project with it.
