New Steel Tank (Pics), Should I coat or paint it?
I have a new Tanks Inc universal steel fuel tank ready to install. My question is should I paint it, powder coat it, or leave it with the factory galvanized protective coating? The last pic is just to show that it does not hang down too low as seen from the rear.

If it were mine I would paint it with black. You have such a nice paint job everywhere else. Black behind a nice color looks good. I use bed liner paint for all the utilitarian parts, like gas tanks. It very durable and has a slight texture that is almost factory looking for some pieces. I use a rattle can product, duplicolor bed liner. I love it. JR
