I bought a new, but scratched fuel tank at a discount from a somewhat local (to me) supplier. I then painted it with a silver basecoat that I had laying around, then cleared it and am happy with the results. I applied the paint (no primer)right over the "terne-plate" plating that was already on the tank and adhesion is fine. I suspect this will last much longer than just the original terne-plate and has a very similar appearance.
