Here's what I did for the time being,
I just cut out a template for each side of the tank, then cut out some gloss black vinyl, you can hardly see the difference from 10' away.. haha it works for now until I can afford the downtime to get it painted.[/QUOTE]
Thats not bad. I didnt think about vinyl wrap either... Just wrap the whole tank and slap my decal on it.
Seeing that your from Texas... Check out Chemical Candy Customs in Dallas, one of the top painters around!

Probably not cheap, but you'll have the slickest 48 in town!
(Yes thats a beer holder!)

Houston. I10 Beltway 8 west area.
I think it looks great, but I need black. My vehicles only come in one color.
Logo is a vinyl under the clear from what I understand. Worst case Ill just break out my paint gun and have a little fun with it. I just hate the down time, and I would hate to spend the money on buying the paint and supplies just to ruin it and have to pay someone to do it in the long run. "If you think its expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire and amateur"

You can rattle can it and do a really decent job for $150 max. If you take your time. Check out my Winter Makeover thread, near the end I explain how I did mine.

Get some Spray Max 2k clear coat. Comes in a rattle can and is impervious to gas. You can apply your vinyl decals and clear coat right over them. I buffed everything by hand and it still came out really nice. If you've got the time and the inclination to do it yourself and you're not looking for a show quality result this is a very inexpensive alternative to $1000+ professional paint job.

Cool. If I can do it anyone can. Just take your time. Wet sand between coats. Don't worry about little imperfections, especially early on. They will all (or mostly) come out in the final buffing process. There are a ton of youtubes about doing a rattle can job, and some of those have some good info. Good luck wtih it!
