Default RE: fuel proof paint

SOME of the Rustoleum paints are fuel RESISTANT. The ONLY paint (that I know of) that is truely FUEL PROOF are the 2 part epoxy paints.

I have found that ACRYLIC LACQUER is as fuel proof as dope. Duro brand of Truck/Van paint at Wal-Mart is labeled acrylic lacquer. An 11 oz spray can is about $4.00 If it doesn't say ACRYLIC LACQUER on the back of the can, it probably isn't.

I have also found that 2 thin coats of MinWax PolyCrylic (the water base) is fuel RESISTANT to 10% nitro (possibly more) and does not yellow with age. I have also found that the MinWax PolyCrylic (water base) is compatable with just about everything. I have not found anything YET that it has an adverse reaction to.

Hope this helps.
