RE: Gasoline proof aluminum paint ?
Jim:
I have never seen an aluminum paint that looks like sheet aluminum.
That being said, go to your local auto supply and get a rattle can of "Plasti-Cote Bumper Chrome" paint. I have no idea what its formulation is, but a clear coat of Coverite "21st Century" fuel proofs it nicely. I'm sure a clear polyurethane would work well also.

BVM sells a product called Metal Kote which produces outstanding results. It is a paint system which is sprayed on from a spray gun. It isn't cheap but you won't find a product that produces any better finish! Here is an example of one of their planes finished with it:

RE: Gasoline proof aluminum paint ?
Hi
In the Grainger, catalog #394 Starting at page 1855. Water based 2 stage epoxy in aluminum and aluminum water based acrylic enamel. I have been looking to try these out. Unfortunatley available in one gallon cans only. But if it works, will problably be cheaper per once than others in the modeling world.
If anyone has tried these, please advise.
