Our Process
Inspection & Assessment
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
Proper surface prep is the foundation of a lasting coating. We blast surfaces to the required SSPC profile to ensure maximum adhesion.
Our SSPC-certified crews apply your coating system in controlled layers, verifying thickness and adhesion at every stage.
We perform a thorough final inspection, provide documentation, and hand off a tank that's ready for years of service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most fuel and oil tanks need recoating every 10 to 15 years, depending on environmental exposure, the original coating system, and maintenance history. We recommend annual visual inspections and coating assessments every 3 to 5 years to catch issues early.
For exterior fuel tank coating, we typically recommend a zinc-rich primer with an epoxy intermediate coat and a polyurethane topcoat for UV protection. Interior linings depend on the stored product — epoxy or polyurea linings are common for petroleum products. We assess your specific needs and recommend the optimal system.
Exterior coating can often be done while a tank remains in service. Interior lining requires the tank to be emptied, cleaned, and properly ventilated. We work with your operations team to schedule downtime efficiently — for a typical 30,000 gallon tank, expect about 2 days of turnaround.
Yes. All our coating systems comply with EPA regulations and are suitable for tanks subject to SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) plans. We also ensure compliance with state and local environmental requirements.
What Our Clients Say
“Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.”
Matt Drennen
“Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!”
