Rocker oil tank: painted or chromed ???
Due to some cracks in the paint of my stock rocker oil tank, I’m thinking about some solutions what to do.
I have 4 things in mind, what do you guys suggest me to do?
I attached some pics (photoshop) to see what I mean, I’m really not sure what looks best.
1. new black paint
2: powdercoating black
3. blue paint matching my gas tank
4. chromed oil tank

Number 3.
I love chrome, but think the Rocker's oil tank doesn't look right chromed.
It's why I'm glad Rocker_Dan came up with a simple solution to add a touch of chrome instead of me trying to figure out how to attach polished stainless tubing to it.
My 1986 FXSTC's tank is chromed, but something makes the tank not fit/flow/blend right chromed on a Rocker in my opinion.

Thanks guys for your advice. So it definitely turned out to be the blue matching color.
The longer I look at the pics, the more I am the same opinion.
I always loved the chromed oil tank of the other softails, but it’s true, the one from the Rocker is way too much chrome.
I will keep this project for next winter, because in our short summer time I will only do riding.
