William,

I do not know the color of a Westy's propane tank, but I do know that
sandblasting can cause the metal to become work hardened.  It would be
prudent to have the tank pressure tested and certified before you place it
into service.  Portable propane bottles are supposed to be certified every 10
years anyway.
