Built a 1/4 scale spacewalker and covered it with koverall. Painted it with rust-oleum and cleared it with rust-oleum clear protective covering. Flow it the other day and when I went to clean it off, fuel seemed to be sticky on the plane and did not come off with my amonia and water solution. Paint seemed to be fuel proof as it did not come off on my towel. Any ideas how to remove this sticky fuel?

If I can chime in, Rustoleum is somewhat glow fuel resistant but not fuel proof.
My sympathy is extended..I've made that mistake. Luckily only with a few props, not a plane.
The reason your rag is not full of paint is that the clear is coming off and gooing up. Inevitably you'll break through to the color and make quite a mess.
If it's not too late to still look good, you may want to try a few coats of clear polyurethane over it to seal the surface.
