Default RE: Nitro proof paint


ORIGINAL: Chad Veich
I have found a few select colors of Rustoleum that seem to be resistant to nitro fuels up to about 15% but not all of them by any stretch. Particularly the metallic colors are definitely not! (Ask me how I know.)
Correct. The metallics have never been "nitro fuel proof". To my knowledge, these are the only ones that are nitro proof:

I have also used the Walmart brand paint and a couple others..... basically, if they're the gloss enamels, they work well if you give them a couple weeks to cure. Any of the "for plastic" paints or anything other than the stinky old gloss oil enamels won't work.
