If your handy with a spray gun, then use normal 2k car body paint/enamel like i did, or spray cans, i have found hamerite to give really good results mate, just make sure you prep the tank first, de grease it and key the surface and a coat or two of primer

This is the tank on my nova, its ford radiant red 2k paint, i had left over from one of my old cars, picture off the phone but you get the idea.

Think I used red Hammerite spray on mine and seems to have held up OK.

Best get two cans mate, as you really want to put a few light coats of paint on first as its not very thick and will tend to run, so build up the coats leaving ten or fifteen mins between coats
