Don't see the interior paint being a problem since the planes are only in direct sunlight for a few hours here and there, never noticed any fading on my planes yet,,

I do recommend using a clear coat over latex,, sure latex it's fine to use with gasoline,, but the clear coat makes it much easier to keep clean, Dirt and exhaust residue will stain the latex. also if you're using printed custom graphics, they aren't necessarily fuel proof either,, so with a clear coat those are kept safe being sealed as well,,,

I use the crosslinker,, needed or not,, why would you not want a chemically resistant finish,, right?

I flew the Kingfisher this weekend,, still looks great and completely fuel proof using 20/20 glow for the last 6 years,,, the systems 3 clear is great stuff IMO
