Should I Paint Gas Tank?

[splogan]

I am installing a new steel gas tank on my 70. It is the floor of the trunk and I was wondering if I should paint it or leave it bare steel?

They are not actually bare steel ,they are galvinised .The originals were left as is and lasted years .Some do paint them but they need to be well prepared or the paint will peel .

I will just leave it then. This car wont ever be a show car so no point I just don't want it to rust out. Thanks.

I sprayed mine with clear, easier to wipe off.
