Default How to paint a field box?

I am building a field box. What type of paint should I use to make it fuel proof? Can I use something like rustoleum?

Thank you.

Yes rustoleum will work.
You can also paint with anything ya want and spray rustoleum clear polyuerothane over it.
The bright orange you see in my pic here is simply flat marking paint that I mark underground lines with and clear poly over it.

Hey Cris I just went to my local ___Mart and bought some enamel spray bombs. I painted my box (Goldberg kit) and didn't even clear coat it. I would advise priming it first. Wood that is unprimed soaks up a lot of paint. Just pick colors that you like and paint away. BTW mine is purple and mauve (I can hear you sniggering all the way over here) but I like it.
