Re: Spray Paint for Gas Tank

[David Stanton]

I’ve used Krylon spray paint with no problems (get it at Menards). In addition, anything made for automotive use or touch-up works because it is made to withstand fueling dribbles down the side of the car. The thing to be careful of is mixing paint types and primer types. One brand of paint may wrinkle up another type pf primer. The two-part epoxy-based primer seems to accept any paint, but being a two-part mix, you won’t find it in a spray can….unless it comes inthe type of can describedinthe post above – I hadn’t heard of that before..
If you get into spray guns and automotive paint, beware of urethane based auto paint because the fumes are very toxic and activated charcoal filter masks, suitable for lacquor and enamels does not take out the bad stuff from urethane automotive paint that does a non-restorable number on your lungs. The pros use headgear with fresh air pumped in through a hose to spray urethanes.
