fuel proof paint
Besides Lustercote, what spray paints are "fuel proof"?
Thanks |
RE: fuel proof paint
I believe rustoleum is fuel proof, I have used it with 10% and haven't had any problems

RE: fuel proof paint
Ultracote paint (Ultracote is an enamel base, Lusterkote is a lacquer base - see compatibility below), SOME Rustoleum colors (but not all of them), MOST Dupli-Color "Truck & Van" paint (if it states on the can ACRYLIC lacquer/enamel 99% of it is USUALLY fuel proof. Definitely Silver/Aluminum - Be careful of compatibility- you can put enamel over lacquer, but not the other way)
These are the spray cans I am aware of. For a spray gun: 2 part automotive paints, 2 part epoxy paints, GlassKote paint (2 part similar to the old K&B hobbypoxy) |
RE: fuel proof paint
this is what I received form Rust-Oleum when i asked them about there paint.
Danny I have used the Stops Rust Protective Enamels on both Monocoat and Ultracoat with good results .Make sure the covering is cleaned well with rubbing alcohol then scuffed well with 0000 steel wool. I do not recommend using the Rust-Oleum Clears. I have used both the Monocoat and the Ultracoat clears over the Stops Rust products with good results. I have run up to 15% nitro without any problems with the coating. Make sure you allow the finish to completely cure (can take up to a month depending on the conditions) before firing the engine up. http://www.rustoleum.com/product.asp...ct_id=18&SBL=1 Safe landings Jon B.

RE: fuel proof paint
If you are building a glow fuel model you could use the Waly-World spray paint with or without their clear overcoat. The WW clear overcoat could also be used to seal latex. If the model is gas then you might want to consider using clear polyurethane depending upon the model color. I understand that yellowing may occure, although I have not experienced this myself.
Hope this is useful, JEB:D Should have mentioned that the model in my avatar is covered in Solartex and sealed with Minwax Polyurethane Satin Clear. |
RE: fuel proof paint
I have had good luck with Rustoleum, DupliColor, and Krylon. The normal colors are good, but I've had problems with their metallics and clears which I would stay away from. I have had very good luck with KlassKote (inexpensive two part epoxy), see my sig for link.

RE: fuel proof paint
Thanks, I went with Rust-O-leum. But I will remember all the suggestions for the next project.
