Tank Color

Yes I know this is a purely superfluous thing but. I have always wondered what is everybody’s favorite tank color, And why if there is a reason.

I am happy with just plain steel. Now I will say in a quarry with a OW class some bright yellow would be nice.

I chose "other", since the gray color of galvanized steel tanks wasn't listed.

If you were referring solely to aluminum tanks, I'd choose the brushed finish.

Don't forget scrapped, scared, and with bits of other tanks colors on it.

I agree, although I voted black, galvanized is my second choice then Yellow.

I like shot blast because it doesn't show scratches as much as painted one.
