Default 70 Vacuum Tank

Hi everyone,
I need some advice.

I want to restore the vacuum tank on my 70 sb. It holds vacuum so it doesn't have any leaks

The outside is covered with surface rust which probably can be beadblasted or what ever and painted.

What black paint should I use? semi gloss black?

Now, what about the inside? Is there a way to rust proof the inside?

Thanks
Wolf

If it doesn't work out for you, I have a couple used ones sitting on the shelf that need new homes.
