My fuel tank is new. The truck has been restored- it was repainted in original candy apple red - it looks great but the body shop painted the exposed part of the tank cover red-- nevertheless- the fuel tank cover is old and I just wanted to freshen things up with a new cover

Take it off and spray it with 5min aircraft paint stripper, it will take it right off. As long as its in good enough shape to reuse that is.

You could get by that by just hand sanding it. Be a lot safer. Eventually everyone will need to drop their tanks in order to replace the fuel pump. At that time, take the tank destroyers off and sand the tank and then rino liner. Then you get to keep the tank destroyers without having to worry about their effect on the tank.

Mine are kinda ugly if you still want them. The other one is on the truck still. Must have forgot to take that off too.
