Trouble is, when we've both got them looking gorgeous, muddy Welsh trail riding will spoil them and they'll look so gorgeous we won't sell them

Is the tank fibreglass or polypropylene?
its the
paintable nylon type i think. its not white which is what the polyethylen are like, its a slightly opake off cream colour.

maybe
the paint is soda resistant. i tryed tonight blasting it with a very course grit used to remove paint and after what seemed like forever it had only roughened the surface which is hy i'm asking if a nitromores type paint stripper would work without eating the plastic.

water washable nitromors doesn't touch plastic - only GRP

Poly ones are flexible compared to the nylon, if it don't flex when you press on the side its nylon.
Only asked is the poly ones can't be painted and the paint eventual flakes off like you described.
Excuse my ignorance, but why do you need to remove all the paint before a respray?
Yeah,wot he said
because
to get the level of finish i require meens starting from a fresh canvas.

I have heard that Nitromors will cause issues with the "plastic / nylon" tank

A good sand down will give you a fresh canvas.
You are only going to get to base plastic , this will have to be rubbed down anyway.
A metal tank requires primer , as dose a plastic tank.
You seem to making a job much harder for yourself.
just think of plastic panels , you dont strip those do you.
