Even my two part clear is not fuel proof if I leave raw fuel on it. It takes a couple of weeks for most paints. Still wish that K&B Epoxy colors were around. I haven't tried Klaskote yet. H^^

HI John,

AS long as the dope dried, you would get a finish that resisted the burnt fuel getting on it. It is raw fuel that does the most damage.

Exhaust is mainly oil, the nitro is gone by then, which is what will mess up the paint.
