Before going ahead and painting the plastic, I would first try some paint on the cut off remnants of plastic. Most important would be how the paint would react to slops and spills when filling the tank with gas. I know other have had problems with the paint bubbleing up after a small spill. Perhaps some paints or clear coats would preform better than others? That pproblem is what has kept me from trying to get rid of the labels on my tank cover. I know that at least the area of the decals have clear coat on them and as of now I have not had problems with gas.

I second the thought of re-painting the actual tank onder the cover.
