Use normal automotive or house paint and it will last until the first cold month after the first hot summer and it will fall off in sheets when the tank contracts in cold weather.
Thanks for the input! I was thinking if covering it in bed liner. That should help with the rock chips.

I will do a flap/shield still too most likely
