RE: fuel proof paint
Rustoleum black & white are supposed to be good to 10 or 15 %
The other colours as well, but I don't remeber seeing any confirmation
Lustercoats is also fuel proof.
Auto paint (PPG) & auto touch up paint is also fuel proof. Some auto body shops can mix & match a paint sample, and for a nominal fee, put it into a spray can..

RE: fuel proof paint
There are at least two sides to the Rust-O-Leum controversy RE its fuel proof qualities. All the Rustoleum I've tried has left me with a fuel smeared airplane that looked nice to start with. I use 15/18 fuel and it eats through Rustoleum like it was house paint. We have a member who swears by the stuff while I just swear at it. Personally I'll stick with Lustrekote or Coverite in a spray can. If you want to use butyrate be sure to get Randolph. It should be availabe at your nearest airport' FBO. Using the hobby spray cans is a bit much for larger aircraft so I depend on it for mostly trimming such as wheel pants or cowlings. With Lustrekote it will match Monokote and makes life a bit easier.

RE: fuel proof paint
Chevron Perfect Paint is fuelproof. So is Formula-U polyurethane. Most two part automotive paint is fuelproof(the good stuff, not the crap you can buy at Wallyworld). All of the finest finishes I have ever seen on model airplnes has been from automotive paint.
