I tihnk kyrlon is what most people use and not all Krylon's are glo fuel "resistant" but most are (to be read - test). I understand it's best to wait a week as well for a complete cure before using it.

The 2 part automotive urethanes are fuel proof, as are any of the 2 part epoxy based paints. It's iffy for most others. Hot exhaust is an outstanding paint remover, even for fully cured enamels.

RE: Acrylic paint
Krylon paint is not fuelproof, it is Rustoleum spray paint that is fuelproof to about 15% nitro, some colors are not as fuelproof as others. I use a lot of white and red Rustoleum and have no problem with 15% glow fuel.

RE: Acrylic paint
I have used 2 part acrylic enamel auto paint with no problems on my sport plane with 10%, however, i had to make a repair and to was to lazy to use the auto stuff and used the acrylic enamel from a can and, guess what, it isnt fuel proof. one of these days Ill have to strip it and repaint that section.
