I'm no expert, but as for the tank nick, first find some matching paint. Then clean the nick out. I think they sell fiberglass brushes to pick out the area. Then carefully fill in the nick, only putting paint in the hole. Build it up slightly higher than the surrounding paint. Let it dry. Then use very fine(start with 400 grit then 600) sand paper and a sanding block, and level the area, sanding only the repair paint. Using water(wet sanding) would be the way to go. Once level and smooth, carefully buff the area with a buffing compound to bring back the shine. This is a general idea of how it's done. I've also seen sanding stones to level the repair.
