Hmm. You must never have worked on Bonfire...

Have brushed aluminum tank and wish to air brush or paint a custom design on it, simple but would definately make it mine. What kind of paint should I use and should I then clear coat it? If it chips off it chips off and then I will touch it up

Fyi Luxfer allows for repainting of their aluminum tanks, if done correctly. No chemical strippers, soft media blasting, specific types of paint.
