Behind the Paint | Hump Days with Hunter
Ever wonder what goes into achieving the finished paint on a Premier water tank?
In this episode of Hump Days with Hunter, Hunter takes us behind the scenes at Premier Water Tanks to follow a tank through the paint preparation process—from raw fabrication to the finished product.
It starts as soon as the tank leaves fabrication. Our team removes weld spatter and other imperfections before the tank is sandblasted to prepare the steel for coating.
After blasting, the tank is primed and hand sanded to address imperfections from fabrication, material handling, welding, and the manufacturing process. It's the attention to these small details before the final coat that helps create the smooth, high-gloss finish you see on a completed Premier tank.
Check out the video below to follow Hunter through the process and see the difference between a raw fabricated tank and the finished product.
