And some paints will not be fuelproof until they've had time to cure, not just dry to the touch.

Give some paints time to cure and they turn out to be fuelproof. One problem we have with paint advice is that some people report what happened the day after they painted, and others didn't expose the paint to fuel for weeks after painting. And some say "Xbrand" isn't worth spit, while others think it's bulletproof.

Another problem we have is that paint manufacturers may change their contents from batch to batch and the label never changes. And none of the mfg's making home improvement paints have any interest at all in making their paint fuel proof or advertising that.

And some paints actually have special ingredients in them depending on the climate for the sales area.

Paint and it's qualities is a messy topic.
