would the Eastwood 2k matte or satin clear work...... it is catalyized so it should resist gas and be tough enough to resist scratching. I should have bought the stainless steel version of this tank but was afraid that it would have been to shiney. I would like to do the chroma - clear but couldn.t be bothered mixing up so little just to do the tank............ you said you used steel wool to scuff the tank , my tank is brand new out of the box, do I still have to rub it down with the steel wool ?
