What colour were the aluminum tanks used by the USN EOD? I assume that they were black, but I have read that they were painted grey.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have one Non-Magnetic tank, but it shows no sign of ever being painted at all.
On a side note: I was working in a dive shop in the early 90's when a tank came through that had a black(looked anodized) stubby valve in it. The owner of the shop said it was a military valve, but I've never read about anything that compares to it. My non-mag tank has a regular valve in it, but if I ever find out that it is supposed to have something different, then I may try to restore it to a more accurate EOD setup.

What do you think?
