Painting fuel tank
Just got everything done being mocked up to install my rear under bed fuel tank. Now I just got to paint the tank. I was thinking of either painting it the body color (dark Blue) or just going with gloss black. If I was to go the black what product would be best? I was kind of thinking maybe using POR15 or a type of undercoating/ bed liner? In your guys opinion what do you think the better option would be.
Thanks Rick Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Painting fuel tank
I used Por-15, inside and outside of my tank. Of course, the inside because my aux. tank is steel, not poly or aluminum. I Por-15'ed the frame as well.
Color is, well, just a personal thing I guess.

Re: Painting fuel tank
It's all personal opinion on what to hide with body color or black but some suspension and engine services look better when painted a contrasting color .I want to emphasize SOME suspension .
