I need to touch up my gas tank as long as I have it out. I know it is gloss black but is there any particular brand I should use. 1936 Cabriolet This message was edited by Bob56 on 10-28-18 @ 9:00 AM

Use a good brand of automotive paint with a hardener. Any over the counter enamel in a spray can will not hold up if today's gas is spilled on it.

The only paint that will resist gasoline is lacquer. It is still available in "rattle" cans.

POR-15 semi-gloss, matte or satin black. Wear gloves, a long-sleeved shirt you are willing to sacrifice and don't touch your face or get any on your skin. Almost tattoo-like and permanently stains anything it touches. Protect all surrounding surfaces as well. Steve This message was edited by len47merc on 10-30-18 @ 9:39 AM

Thank you for the replies. Going to try my first attempt at painting it with a spray gun

Not sure what paint you will be using, but many of the paints need very good breathing apparatus. If you do the POR-15 you can brush it on and it flows and looks like you sprayed it.

x2 on all trjford8's comments on the POR-15. Should've mentioned that myself - it is very low viscosity, flows and covers (1 coat) very well and very quickly. If spraying breathing apparatus is a must - plus a full face shield ('freckles' from airborne droplets will be darn near impossible to remove, will have to wear off), though it flows so well that with a modest quality brush you'll obtain an almost sprayed-like finish, particularly on a fuel cell.
