Default RE: Fuel proof spray paint a thing of the past?

I gave up on getting any real FUEL PROOF paint. It may be resistant to 10% fuel of r while but they all seemed to get gummy or sticky after a while of higher nitro fuels. What I did was go to an automotive paint store. They would match, put in a spray can for $12.00. Perfect match and 2 part auto enamel. I could also have them make it in high gloss, gloss, matte or semi gloss, flat, or super flat. Yes it cost more then Luster coat. But it is a lot better paint too. I had 8 different colors on file so the next can I did not have to pay for the matching.

I also had them mix up a 2 part gloss clear. It was fuel proof and went over most paints.
