This is great news. I have just started using Rustoleum on my last kit. I didn't realize that Krylon was fuel proof also, ( I assume the plane colors).

And its really great to hear about a good clear coat. Is it really glossy, like wet looking ?
Krylon COLORED paints ARE NOT FUEL PROOF. They must be clear coated.

If a colored paint STATES ON THE CAN it is an ACRYLIC, then there is a good chance it is at least fuel resistant. Before using it on your plane, I strongly suggest doing a test panel and testing the paint's resistance to glow fuel.
