First, coat the wood with CA glue or epoxy resin and then use a completely fuel proof paint such as PPG K-36 PRIMA (polyurethane primer) .
Sand lightly with 220 grit, and then brush two coats on the wood, and one coat on the fiberglass and glue joints.
(Catalyze the K-36 with K-201 and do not use any reducer).
Drill a couple of small holes on the bottom of the model to allow any accumulated fuel or oil to drain out between flying sessions.

Or if you want to save some money use Rustoleum. I would buy an 8 oz. can of flat black and an 8 oz. can of flat white, then mix them until I got a shade of grey I liked (a lot more white than black). Rustoleum is fuel proof and holds up very well.
