  • Repainting Bottle

    I have a bottle that i bought really cheap. Its kind of beat up. Can I paint it and remove the sticker? Do I need the sticker for it to get filled?

    nope..you can pull that sticker off and do whatever you want to the bottle as far as painting..since they usually weigh them to fill them all you have to know is that its a 10 lb. bottle

      I got mine painted as soon as I got it. My paint guy charged me just 30$ to paint the tank to match the car and it turned out fantastic. Check out my cardomain for pics

            I don't have the system operational yet but there isn't any obstruction for your shifting arm if that is what your concerned about. As far as some shops not filling the bottles without a label...... there are a few places on ebay that sell brand new nos bottle lables if you feel you have to have one.

                The sticker doesn't meen sh!t. The CGA code on the valve is only for N2O! Any shop that knows a bit about the gas that they are selling should know that...

                            Actually, its against the law for any shop to fill the bottle if it doesn't have a sticker. But I guess since its also illegal you use n2o on the streets, what difference does it make?
