? for those of you w/in bed transfer tanks
found me a 105 gal transfer tank for my truck, got a new pump for it for x-mas. it needs to be painted cuz the tank is used. i was thinkin maybe blue to match the truck, or possibly black... anyway, my question is has anyone painted theirs and how has the paint held up? pics would be nice too. i just cant decide.

If it's a steel tank, bedliner spray would hold up better than paint. JMHO. Mine, from my '98 is aluminum diamond plate (not on the '07 yet) so, I left as is.

I had a tank in the back of my 01 that I had powdercoated white to match the truck... worst mistake I ever made. Go with a dark flat color. Anything glossy will really show were the fuel seeps from some fittings and drips from a nozzle. I was cleaning my tank every few days.

I did the Line-x on my aluminum tank. It's aged and looks just like the bed. The only complaint I have is you have to be careful when you fill it and don't over fill it. Any diesel spilled will cause the Line-x to turn loose around the filler tube.
