RE: Paint
Spray can Rustoleum, in colors, is fuel proof and you can get pretty close to matching some of the popular Monokote colors. Krylon's new Fusion is also fuel proof and handles nicely.
If you have a compressor and spray system, the Klass Kote paints are as good, if not better, than the old K&B or Petitt epoxy paints.
