Hi Folks,
Does anyone know an alternative to Terne plate? I have a 56 Mark II. I'm restoring it. The gas tank is a little rusty on the outside and I want to get it to the original Terne plate look. I'll media blast the rust off. Does anyone have a method of recreating the Terne plate look? Spray on or brush on maybe?
Any thoughts or past experiences are appreciated.

Thanks, I'll order a can of that and do a test. My concern is it will look too shiny tho. would the original finish have been duller? I'm thinking with tin and lead maybe so. I wasn't around to see any new ones back then. lol.

Tank Tone has a dull silver metallic finish. The color is about right but it does not replicate the grainy look of the original galavanized ? metal.
