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.
 
Thanks! Used rustoleum satin black on the top side and rustoleum Bedliner on the bottom.
Hopefully it lasts awhile
