I am definitely using urethane... but was pondering weather to clear coat or

I knew my scuba gear would come in handy during the winter. Might paint the
tank with left over paint as well. Now wouldn't that look cool in the back
of the sprite. Matching scuba gear with the car. Awesomeness.

Thanks.
