What Color Tank Should I Buy?

[ScubaBunga]

I'm late to this chat. I know many will say never paint the tank, never put a sticker on it. LDS's will not visual/hydro it. Which I guess if you paint it to hide damage - don't. If you know your LDS and especially with an aluminum tank - get the color or paint to your personality. Most of my tanks are plain galvanized but some were painted because I wanted to. I also vis my own tanks and know the hydro guy. I'm at work so can't upload images (so no pic of the evil minion tank which is the better of the two) but here's a link to the normal minion tank.
Enjoy your gear.

Used to have a customer who worked in Disney's scenery shop. Coolest custom paint jobs ever ... photorealistic watermelon, corn on the cob, hot dog, peanut etc. etc.

I can now picture a remora tank.

As you are buying an aluminium cylinder, do yourself a favor and buy a naked cylinder, no paint, no net, no boot - nothing attached.

The above always will interfere with the alloys natural passivization, leading to "rust" developing. An aluminium cylinder is always left best unpainted.

Couldn't agree more.

I missed the post you quoted. I think he means steel will rust. Aluminum oxidizes but doesnt rust. I did get a boot on it for transport purposes.
