Thanks for the tip Rob.

I just sprayed mine with Simoniz Satin Black Aerosol - just masked it off, no need for removal. (Actually the same paint that I used on the Grille).

And Bob, I've been using Autoglym's Vinyl & Rubber spray for years - I told you ages ago aswell....

I think it looks much better black! What do you think...?

I got myself a 2nd hand black header tank, but ended up just spraying my existing one as you did. As you say, much easier, no need to remove the tank, and it looks brand new. Win win!
