Just about all off the shelf aerosols aren't petrol resistant, so make sure you clear coat the tank with a petrol resistant paint after you've sprayed the blue. I think Halfords do a petrol resistant clear coat aerosol.

Hope I'm not being too patronising but I've made that mistake before and it's a real b#####d to see your perfect tank job melt and drip in front of you at the petrol station..... HN

Presumably you are in the UK? So  try "RS" for aerosol paint: http://www.motorbikepaint.co.uk/
