Title: Dupont Ful-Thane 2K, Nason Acryl-II, Centauri Fuel Proof?
Post by: George Hostler on January 04, 2015, 07:09:51 PM
I could do my own tests, but thought someone out there may have direct experience and I could spare myself the trials. Are these auto paints fuel proof?

Only experience with non-rattle can sprays have with dope.

I still have left over paint from painting cars, motorcycles, etc. and hardner, reducer, etc., but thought I'd first ask.

Centauri with hardener is definitely fuel-proof.  If the Nason Acryl II (acrylic urethane) is catalyzed then it will be fuel-proof as well.

Thanks, Bill. I've got left over dark metallic blue in Acryl-II and gloss black in Centauri. Think I will shoot my next CL projects with these colors, may be the Sterling S-46 Hellcat build with the blue.

Does anyone know if the Dupont Ful-Thane 2K (not the low VOC version) with hardner is fuel proof as well? I've got this paint in a really nice Hyundai dark silver, been thinking about shooting my son's P-47 in it.

(Here's a photo of a friend's fender that I repaired a dent and shot with Ful-Thane, glosses up like its clear coated. What appears as dents are fluorescent light end reflections, this stuff is fantastic.  ~> ):
