It should have come painted and usually they are silver, where did you get it? It would have some surface rust if it's bare metal, so I'd paint it with a rust inhibiting paint like Derusto before coating with anything else for extra rust prevention.

Hi all me again! Ive got a question about my new fuel tank. My fuel tank is bare steel would it be wise to coat the exterior with some form of paint/ bedliner stuff to prevent external rust or would that cause more rust? Thanks again!! Velma 82 na diesel westy
