Hi all, I’ve dropped the fuel tank and it’s looking in pretty good condition (I was surprised!) just looking to paint it before putting it back on, is there any recommendation for whether I should prime it? I’ve got vactan for any bits of rust first, but should I then also prime it? And then what type of paint? Is smooth rite suitable here as less likely to chip? Or rustoleum? Thanks!

If you've got that smoothright already, then I dont think you'd need any primer. Just rub it down, get it dry and lather it on

I did mine with smoothrite, several years ago now, still holding up well with only a very small number of chips on front edge/corners. As said above get a good thick coat on
