Fuel Filler Neck

[Shakey]

From what I have seen, I think the fuel filler neck is left with a natural finish.  Am I correct?

Mine had to be cleaned up and it will need a coat of paint to look good.

Will Eastwood's Detail Gray be the paint of choice?  Any advice would be appreciated.

That is what I used on mine. Here is a pic.

The fillerneck is galvanized metal.  The Eastwood stuff will look nice as well....

Chris,

Have you ever used the galvanized spray can stuff? If so does that give the look of galvanized metal? My filler neck was in rather bad shape and would not clean up even after polishing with steel wool for over an hour on it. The Eastwood detail gray was the best I could come up with at the time.

I had undercoating on my filler neck as well as overspray from when my car was painted.  It took me 2 hrs to clean it up.  Torch with a scraper for the undercoating.  Then wiping it with rags soaked with varasol, finally some sand paper, over to the wire wheel, back to the sand paper and finally ready for paint.

I ended up using Eatwoods Tank Tone.

i had mine powder coated grey, to match the factory color and it turned out nice.

Nah, just left mine "au natural"

natural gets my vote . I was always told that fuel tanks were tin plated never galvanized.

Another vote for natural steel/galvanized.  There was some type of a finish on mine, not that snowflake type galvanizing but more of a even coating.  The Eastwood tank tone doesnt look anywhere close to what a galvanized tank would look like.  If you were going to paint it, I would use the detail gray or whichever color looks closest to natural steel.

Does anyone have detailed pictures of where the fuel return line grommet fit into this on the filler tube. I had my trunk pans replaced and cannot make out where it went. Thanks
