RCE1313 23 Report post Posted January 22, 2022 Sorry if this has been posted before and I tried to search the topic but had no luck. Has anyone had any success painting their fuel tank? My tank is probably 8 years old and is the basic galvanized tank. I've started to notice that the tank just doesn't appear to appealing anymore and maybe this is what white rust looks like Any advice on how to address? Maybe using Kilz all purpose primer and then paint black or silver? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Conway 272 Report post Posted January 22, 2022 I would clean it up with soap and water or maybe some CLR ? Anyway get rid of the surface oxidation and shoot it with some rust inhibitor. The spray results in turning the area a dark almost black color. I sprayed some on the caliper in the picture. The treated area is much darker. Or you could also try using some gun blue ? You can always paint the color of your choice later. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 790 Report post Posted January 25, 2022 On my '68, I cleaned mine with some steel wool and then clear coated it with Eastwood Diamond Clear Satin. Seems to be holding up ok. In fact, all the bare metal I coated on my '68 nearly 15 years ago looks good, not yellowed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
