MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Fuel tank paint

while i have the fuel tank out what is the best paint to paint it with
mark heyworth

I painted mine with two coats of Bondaprimer, followed by chassis black. I also used Waxoyl on the top surface.

waxoyling the top of the tank is a good idea Dave, wish I'd thought of that.
Jeremy MkIII

As above. Chassis black. But went around the flange seal with seam sealer as well.

Another sugestion whilst you have the tank off is to extend the fuel sensor cable so that the connector is inside the boot, and to also add an earthing wire from the sender to inside the car.
GuyW

I used epoxy chassis mastic paint and waxoyl or waxoyl underbody seal both on top and when fitted.
