In doing my Ryca project, a friend of a friend with metal working skills cut out the stock spout and welded on an old style spout I got on eBay that came with a plain chromed cap. I'd show a photo, but the tank is at the painter.

You can get your tank painted locally buy about any body shop, but you better have it nice and shiny or it will cost big. Removing paint and prep time with Bondo takes a lot of time. A guy close to me is retired and advertising mc paint jobs cheap. Those folks usually take longer but have the skills to do a great job.
