    Paint it Black - Mild Restoration

    I do not believe that paint will resist gas spills. I would put a few drops of gas on a painted test piece and wipe off and see what happens. A rattle can solution I have found is to clear coat with indoor/outdoor ployurethane spray. You could probably get away with just doing the tank.
