TOPIC: Johnson Mile Master gas tank restoration

I have an old Mile Master 6 Gal pressurized tank. '54 I believe...it has the knurled aluminum priming button. I am restoring it and looking for a "look alike" paint to match the original color. Anyone have any recommendations on a paint brand/color?

Thanks,

Hey Kyle, welcome aboard. Good to see a DePere(ite) on board. Lived by the fairgrounds over 26years before moving to Suamico. Your tank color sorta hangs between an orange and red. If you go to Carquest on main west side with the tank they might be able to match the paint for you, if not take the tank to Federated auto on Oneida and they will bring out the swatches and mix up a rattle can that works for you. I just cleaned up three of those tanks for my Shell Lake Rocket but just painted them plain Rustoleum red.

Call these guys and they will set you up with the correct red.
