The gas thank has been painted. This time may be the winner! I LOVE that 66Autocolor paint - wow! Pictures when it dries.

Mike and Steve, thanks! Mike - prep, make sure it's smooth (400, 1000, 1500 wet sand) and then shoot it with the 66 Autocolor single stage paint - it will come out like mine did.

Steve - I'm going to be VERY CAREFUL with the side panels... :)
