Is there a good rattle can paint for the outside of the tank that won't get screwed up if I accidently get gas on it? I had a recommendation from a paint shop for the VHT product for its chemical resistance.
WolfsburgWest Gray/Black L43. Hard as nails & a near perfect match to ealy tanks.
I took mine down to bare netal & used liberal coats of primer, block sanded with 1000 grit - 2 coats. The L43 took to it like glue. Three coats, 1000 grit each, followed by wet sanding with 2000 grit, and high quality wax (I used Zynol). Came out perfectly.
