I had to do an impromptu repair on a cowl and need the plane this weekend for an event. Is there some version of hardware store paint that is fuelproof or at least will last for a few flights? I am not concerned with color, texture or finish just that it will cover the repaired area and not flake or wear off right away. I do not have a hobby store close by and don't know that there is enough time to order and get some here.

Any thoughts?

Rustoleum - if it says Fights Rust. Only basic colors- not clear.

Some of the polyurethane cans are fuel resistant, not proof. They are better if they can cure for a couple of days to a week. As long as you do not soak it with fuel, clean it up after the flight with alcohol you should be OK.

Do you have a automotive paint store around? They might be able to mix up a 2 part clear and pout it in a spray can?

Thanks guys.

Do you want spray? Look at appliance paints. They are generally epoxy.
