What about factory undercoated cars? was the whole tank sprayed or just what was easy to shoot?

the tank would have been over sprayed on the edges but was not coated , the tanks are galvanized fron the factory & shouldn`t rust , I have clear coated new tanks as some have rusted , never paint a tank black , I have seen the fuel boil in black tanks causing vapor lock problems

The pic has to be under 300K in size. Do you have an image re-sizer?
