NO!

You must use special propane tank paint.

Krylon spray ://www.krylon.com/products/propane_tank/is 50 dollars for a
case of six 12 ounce cans of propane tank spray paint. Each can covers 15
to 20 square feet.

I don't know how many square feet are on a 1,000 gallon propane tank
though.

Van Sickle propane tank brush painthttps://www.hardwareworld.com/Aluminium-Propane-Tank-Paint-1-Gallon-p...
is 30 dollars a gallon.

I would guess a 1,000 gallon propane tank will take the whole case of
Krylon sprays (6 cans) or something like three gallons of Van Sickle ($90).

You also need to prime before you paint and seal after you paint but I
don't know what kinds of primer or sealers to use for outdoor propane
tanks.


i would call and ask the propane supplier, often the tank is owned by
the supplier ask nice perhaps you can get a free re paint?
