Anyone got any recommendations or tips to completly remove the paint from my tank, I plan to repaint after a satin black 

In my view, modern paint strippers are piss poor. Likely to be quicker and less messy sanding it off

Cool I'll give that a whirl, cheers 

Starchem synstrip is up to the job

Hi Spike . Unless the tank has rust there's no need to go back to the metal , esp if you'll be painting it black .  Just  "flatten" the gloss on the top layer back with some fine wet and dry paper .  Depending on  the condition/colour of the tank you mightn't even need primer . Simonis Hard Black is a good all round paint and it's pretty cheap .
