Gary Jan 7th, 02, 8:34 PM What would be the correct color to paint the gas tank? It has a medium gray on the top side which looks to be the original color. ------------------ GARY 71 SS 454 T.C.

My car is almost rust free... (Only rust is on the deck-lid) My gas tank still has the original color and it's medium gray. You color you have on top is the original one. ------------------ Shai 1972 Chevelle Malibu custom 4dr (http://72-chevelle.cjb.net) Restoration started: February 10th 2001 TC member #1278 chevl71 Jan 8th, 02, 8:47 AM Hey Gary! I bought some Eastwoods "tank-tone" to test the color. Dan (Mr. GTO) bought some silver zinc generic spray and we couldn't tell the difference, except for the price. Stop by the shop and ask Dan what brand it was. ------------------ Doug, Chevl71 Team Chevelle member #625 Gateway Area Chevelle Club member CM028 (OO ss OO) chevl71 homepage (http://www.chevl71.homestead.com/chevl71homepage.html) Dan Orgill Jan 8th, 02, 9:18 AM For the sake of correctness, the tanks are actually a galvanized finish.
