Hi Danny,
Since the tank was originally plated you really can't get a paint that's close to that.
TankTone from Eastwood may be a good choice. It's sorta the right color and makes the tank look nice.
If you could figure out a way to mimic the darkened area around the seam from the weld heat it would look even better.
Regards,
Alan

Hi FC,
No, that's TankTone.
No money in the budget for a new tank.
I believe since the tank material was plated before the tank parts were formed, assembled, and welded, the results of re-plating would still have the heat zone tell tale.
