    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.
