NOS Tank Paint Job COMPLETED!! Ok, I was a bit excited, and drunk 
when I posted the tank images yesterday. I read the replys and was thinking, wtf do they mean no clear coat...? I had to adjust my camera 10x to get a good shot without the glare I'm thinking! Then I realized I uploaded the "paint job" pics I got while the NOS tank was at the shop, not the photo's of it on my kitchen table 
So here are the CORRECT images, of the finished clear coated tank. The NOS tank pic that shows a closeup of the emblem, the specks you see are the pearls in the paint and the white starburst are not from the flash they are airbrushed in. Sorry for the confusion, but it's worth a second look
I will post pics of the install ASAP! I am getting the "Nitrous management unit, window switch, and fuel rail covers painted to match the bottle design, going to look sweet!

They need clear, and when they do get cleared the flames will not look as bright. I always over-brighten them because the clear brings them back down to a decent glow.

Yes they are clear coated, wet sand & clear again. Mabey its the images... Taking a better look at them today now that the "giddie'ness" has wore off. I have an edelbrock 10lb tank for the strip, this tank will stay empty for when I go "waxer-boy" at vette shows.
Thank you guy's for the tips!!
