Default RE: Glow fuel proof pain?

Be very very careful when you ask on this forum about which paints are fuelproof. I asked the same question months ago and was told pretty much the same answers that appear above. I finished an 8 month build with a very sticky airplane that became sticky with 10%nitro fuel after only a few flights and the wrong paint. I am going to send for a clear from Nelson hobbies that is designed for this hobby to be fuel proof and hope I can spray on my plane. I think some of the automotive Lacquers may work as well but I would be leary about which ones to use. THE ONLY PAINTS YOU SHOULD BE USING ARE THE ONES SOLD AT HOBBY SHOPS NOT AT HARDWARE STORES. There, you have been warned.
