There is a company that you can send it to and they will put the tin/lead coating back on it. I’d go this route if you can.

I have painted origianl gas tanks and filler tubes with Rustoleum Silver Hammertone Paint and it looked like original zinc when done. I have passed it off in some tough judging shows as original. People could not believe how close to original the paint looked on the gas tank. Just my input. Do you have any pictures of your painted gas tank? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have a good picture of the tank. It was on a near concourse restoration of my 1969 Charger R/T SE car. For $8 you can pick up a spray can and test it out on some other metal part. It gives the correct texture and appearance of zinc finish. Sounds good👍
