Urethane based paints/clear coats are impervious to fuel, or enamel with a hardener.

I just took my rusted to crap 250ES tank to my local powder guy..

From this:

167130

To this:

167131

For $60.00..I don't think you'll find a paint that will stand up any better.

Of course the decals were not part of it..those are Harlen's!

WOW doug that looks great ... guess that's the way to go ....

Assuming it needs no Bodywork, would look like crap to powder over dings and dents.

dustrunner,

Post a pic of your tank. What color do you want to spray the tank?

Well, it's not a Mr Clean job..there are a couple small dimples but no major dents. But then it's a rider not a show piece..I was just trying to clean up and preserve the tank for the next 25 years..

Got the rust and scabs cleaned from the bottom and it looks 98% better.

If a guy wants to pick it over he'll see the minor flaws..but I sure don't think it looks like crap!! No argument it was worth $60...
