Engine paints tend to be gas resistant, like Rustoleum and VHT, etc. stuff you can get at auto parts stores in spray cans.

2 part soil based urethane are IMO one of the toughest all round paints I have used. Epoxy has a great set of positives, but retaining gloss is not one of them. twocents


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I'm with JCC on this one. I personally have never seen/tested a single-component spray paint that will withstand gasoline more than just a splash here & there.

2-component epoxy has the best chemical resistance, but will discolor (yellow typically) from sunlight exposure over time.

2-component urethane has the 2nd best chemical resistance & is very light stable as long as you have a MDI (aliphatic) isocyanate component.
