Nitro proof paint

[Richard SimpsonModerator @richardsimpson88330]

I know enamel paint is dissolved by petrol, as I once found out to my cost on a motorcycle petrol tank, but I don't know with glow fuel.

The standard approach with such things is to always do a test piece just to be absolutely sure of the compatibility.

It's a blooming long time since I ran glow and diesel powered boats, but I suppose the old way will still be ok. All we did was paint as needed, then add a coat or two of fuel proofer from the model shop. Some guys took real pride in the interior's of their Catchalots, Snappers etc, that's showing my age!
