If worse comes to worse take a candle and melt some wax on a curved surface (to resemble the tank) and paint what you see! Take some photos at different angles and take note to the shadows and tints in color. Probably what I would try .

I would try what Foe said, sounds good to me. Looking forward to seeing this done, Dave.
