Re: Gas Tank Paint Dissolved

[Bob Wight]

I’ve used his aerosol paint in my restorations and never had a big fuel leak or spill but have certainly gotten some fuel drops on the painted finish around the fuel connection. Also had a carb flood one time that spilled some gas on the paint and nothing happened. In one section of his site, Peter does use the term "gas-proof" with regard to the aerosol paint (see link below). Sorry you had that happen. I still think his aerosol paint is great stuff and will continue to use it until I get some spray equipment. Guess it would be best to use a urethane paint on the fuel tanks.
