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

I set up three test panels of different types of Rustoleum.

1. Standard Gloss white
2. Auto Primer - Flat Gray
3. Home Accents - Flat Brown

I sprayed each panel with two cotes of paint and let dry for 48 hours. Than I put a teaspoon of 15% fuel on each panel and let sit over night. All three panels were fine the next morning. There was no peeling or bubbling of the paint on any of the three panels.

I now have a teat panel sit up with polyester material and covered with two cotes of nitrate dope and painted with another two cotes of Rustoleum primer flat gray. I will let you know have this works out in 48 hours.
