Default I need some advice........

Good Day to all, I have a 06 heritage FLST and my oil tank
is black. I want to know if it would be cheaper or easier to
paint it the same as my bike color( fire red pearl) or chrome it?? I want to be
a lil different, u know, make it your own. If any body has any
pictures I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!!

HD used to paint their black oil tanks over top of the chrome. A couple guys on here have successfully removed the black paint to end up with a chrome tank. I know I've seen those posts on here before? Someone will back me up or tell me I'm dumb, but I'm pretty sure about that.

Painting it red would be very unique...

Get ready for fun and games getting it in and out of the frame if memory serves correctly!
