Default RE: Auto Paints for Models

Alfie, there are some on here giving you some dangerous advise. Most automotive paints are NOT glow fuel proof (they are great for gasoline powered models) unless there is a glow fuel proof clear coat applied after the color coats.
I do not know who the above quote is refering to. I offered advice based on many years of usage. I do not use high nitro fuels any more. When Formula 1 Pylon Racing was popular we used 60% nitro. The Automotive paint I desribed and use is fuel proof. Rather than making a general comment that some advice is bad, be specific and say which is bad and which is good.

I have not used all of the available brands of paint. From enquiries I made it seems that if the paint is catalysed it is fuel proof. Now this may be a general statement but so far in my real experience it is the case.
