Just primered my NEW 400 and some dollor gas tank for my 66. I am going to paint it black. What kind of black should I go? Gloss, semi???? Also what should I use as far as sand paper to scuff the primered surface? Thanks a lot!!!

sorry, forgot to say 400 something canadian. Damn canadian dollor sucks!!! Still think I'm crazy?? http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif I sure do.
Just a plain steel tank, repro.

I painted mine with Duplicolor Medium Charcoal Metallic. Looks just like a new zinc coated tank.

Why do you want to paint it? They are tin coated I believe, we usually clear them to keep the clean look. $400 cdn. sounds better. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

WOW 400 beans $$$$ alot od dough evan in Canada.
clean it with thinner. and clear coat it.
pain the straps gloss black .
I think if I paid $400 US for a tank I
would install a spot light on it !!
