Hi mate,

The tanks are plastic which is thick and well made, they seem to have a coating on them but not sure about painting them. I will soon have some stick on decals on mine so will see how that goes.
The standard petrol cap will vent alot of fumes so go for a lockable one which is alot better, almost like standard.
The only time i've noticed fumes from mine is on very very warm to ken hot days (so like a heat wave over there haha).
Hope this helps and sorry for late reply, been out riding (have big tank, will travel)
