What kinda paint would you guys recommend for painting a gas tank skid plate? I wire wheeled and treated the rust with phosphoric acid, primed with Rust-Oleum rusty metal primer. I wasn’t sure if rattle can truck bed liner would hold up on the bottom exposed surface?

I don't like mixing paint products. Rustoleum primer gets Rustoleum paint in my shop. A good quality bedliner would probably be great. But, use the primer that is specific to the product you choose and follow the directions to the letter.
