How does the concave or convex curvature of a surface affect the dry film thickness reading?

I have several water tanks constructed with carbon steel for demineralized water storage. The tanks are about 20 years old, and the original coating has started to blister. For refurbishment of the coating, what material should be used and at what dry film thickness? The original type of coating is unknown.

What do you do when the surface profile is higher than the dry film thickness of the specified primer?

What is the best way to assure compliance with specified dry film coating thickness requirements on vertical concrete?

What errors are most likely to occur when measuring dry film thickness on steel, and how can I avoid them?

A specification for a bridge to be built of high-performance weathering steel requires an SSPC-SP 10, a profile of 3 to 5 mils, and metallizing with a final DFT of 10-12 mils. What challenges, time, and costs are associated with obtaining the profile?
