Yep, I've been ruling painted plastic tanks illegal for a couple of years now. You just can't tell what effect the chemicals in the paint are going to have on the strength of the plastic, and you never know what type paint was used. Wish the team had been at Smoky Mountain or Peachtree. Would have saved some grief at the Championships.
