They were silver but I've refurbed mine and sprayed it with truck bed paint (black)....it looks great and is hard wearing.
I'll post pics up when I get my head around it....again

No mines original but you can get a sealer that you swish around inside to seal it.
I haven't done that yet.

i think you need to be careful what you use due to ethanol content. had my tank powder coated light grey then applied the internal coating
