Default RE: Rustoleum-- Is it really Fuel Proof?

I had a Super Stick 60 ARF I bought from a friend at my club. He had painted it with Rustoleum enamel. It was painted Red on top and yellow on bottom. I think he had the plane for a year. I had it for nearly two years, and sold it last summer. I never found the paint to peel anywhere. It did chip off in a few small places on the horizontal stab leading edges. Otherwise it held up real well. The aluminum landing gear was a different story. It was painted also. With time, the paint began to wrinkle then peel off. So I wouldn't bother with that. Then again, a different type of Rustoleum might work there.
