I have applied several spray can clear coat’s
over paint and then put gas on them to see
how resistant to fuel they are. This 1K Clear
is the most resistant to fuel I have found in
a spray can without a hardener. If I quickly
wiped off any gas there was no damage but
if left on for an extended length on time gas
will affect the finish. Second was Rust-O-leum
Custom. It also showed no damage if you
immediately wiped off any spilled fuel but if left
on it will affect the paint sooner than the 1K.
Just have a cloth handy to wipe up any spills
when filling a tank. Notice the Rust-O-leum
says “Lacquer”. Not sure about the 1K. You
should always test when mixing types & brand’s
of paint as well as if a clear is compatible with
your decals.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
