Fuel-proofing TAMIA paints
I am using TAMIA COLOR AIRSPRAY paint because I do not have airbrush or a touch up paint gun and the quality of the finish from the spray can is surprisingly good. But I'm not sure how to fuel-proof it. There is a clear coat available (in gloss only) but I doubt it's fuel-proof intended.
I would like to know how to fuel-proof for both GLOSS and MATT finishes.
Has anyone used these paints with success?
THNX for helping,
Vasek

Fuel-proofing TAMIA paints
If the Tamiya paint you are using is Polycarbonate Paint then it is already fuel proof. This paint is used for the car/truck bodies made of Lexan and used on glow powered vehicles.
You don't have to caot it unless you want to increase the shine and a High Gloss Clear is available from Tamiya.
