Krylon I have used. After allowing it to cure fully (a week at least) I've not had any problem with 15% fuel. Higher nitro percentages might affect it, I don't know.
Your problem will be getting it to stick to the film covering. Clean the film thoroughly with acetone or MEK, after scuffing it with steel wool or very fine sandpaper. Be sure the entire area is scuffed, the paint will start chipping off where you missed.
Then as I said, use acetone or MEK to clean it. Mask it, and spray.
I've had best results pulling the tape when the paint has just barely set, but it's a fine point Either too soon or too late is a problem. Too soon it pulls the paint beside the tape, it hasn't stuck yet. Too late the tape tends to slide out from the paint leaving a ragged edge.
Try it, practice, learn, enjoy.
