Default RE: Rust-Oleum?

Yes, it is that Rustoleum and I use it frequently on my gas and my glow models. I've never had a problem with glow fuel getting on it.

Another plus is that some of their colors match monokote colors perfectly - even better than LusterKote does. For example, their dark blue matches Insignia Blue monokote and their dark red matches the dark red monokote. I've used both.

No clear - cote is necessary but I highly recommend that you let the paint cure for at least one full week before exposing it to fuels.

Preparation is critical. Use only Rustoleum primer; don't mix manufacturers. After the primer dires (an hour or so), rub it down with very fine steel wool to get the surface smooth. Apply the paint in two coats with the second or final coat applied a little heavier. Practice so that you don't get any runs.

Works like a champ.
