I would appreciate some feedback on what brand of spray paint you have used that is fuel proof and offers a lot of colors other than Rustoleum.  I want to try something different for a glow engine.

Thank you

I am unaware of anything in a spray can that is fuel proof these days.    Perhaps the auto spray paint in the auto parts store but you'd have to do a 'fuel test' on it.    You maybe COULD use something that isn't necessarily fuel proof but then spray on some polyurethane clear-which is fairly fuel proof over the top.  The only downside of that is it becomes very difficult to patch any future damage and hope to get your original color paint to attach or blend over the urethane.  Actually that is an issue with two-part auto clear finishes as well.    I'm still using dope......
If it's just a matter of spraying I have used the disposable spray bottles from the hardware or Home Depot with good results.

Well the old DOC here has used Rustoleum and ACE Hardware spray paint.   Needs to set/cure for a minimum of 2 weeks maybe three.  Wipe off raw fuel immediatly if it gets on surface.   Also wipe down area the exhaust gets to.  So far it works for me.

Thank you Dave.

Don't they sell touch up cans of base coat clear coat? That would be a pretty good seletion of colors.
