Allfie,

I have been using Automotive finishes for the last 15 or so years. I have had no problems when using glow fuel, or gasoline. I use both single stage, and two and three stage finishes. I have never had a problem with glow fuel attacking the finish (up to and including 15%). I do, clean the model completely when I am finished with the day's flying. I have enjoyed great results with the following brands: DuPont, PPG, Sherwin-Williams, and of course Sikkens. The Sikkens products give a great finish, but the priice of most of their products are prohibitive. I am sure that most of you are tired of seeing the picture that I am going to post, but this is the WACO YMF that I just finished this winter. It is finished in Dupont 2 stage. The material under the finish is SIG Koverall. I have planes that have been completed for over 10 years, and the covering and finish is original, and still looks as when first finished. Try it, you'll like it.
