Default RE: Is Rustroleum fuel proof?

I have to backup what Ed states about allowing paints to properly cure. Recently I attempted to apply a clear coat (XIM 900 Solvent Based Acrylic) to my Gee Wheel pants and to the cowl panted in enamel. The application to the wheel pants was done after a period of two weeks after the enamel application. It was a perfect finish. The cowl application however, was a mess. The cowl had only set for 7 days before I attempted to spray it with clear. After removing the mess, and repainting the cowl, I allowed it to cure for two week, and ureka, another beatiful finish.

I tell this story because I believe the model feuls will have a simular effect on the paints. My plane will be completed in the next week or two and I will have a more definitive answer for you then.
