Product Information

Full details

The Guild Lane Chroma Enamel Fuelproof Paint in Matt Clear is designed specifically for RC modellers who require a durable, protective topcoat for their projects. It delivers a smooth matt finish that resists fuel damage without the need for additional proofing treatments, making it ideal for quick yet professional-grade surface protection. However, users should be aware that fuel resistance performance fluctuates based on the nitro content of the fuel, necessitating prompt cleanup after contact to maintain the paint's integrity.

FAQs

Do I need a separate fuel proofer with this paint?

No, this enamel is specifically formulated to be fuel-resistant on its own, provided you clean up any spills promptly.

Can I use this over any paint type?

It is recommended to test the clear coat on a paint swatch first to ensure compatibility with the base paint layers.

Does it come in other finishes?

Yes, Guild Lane offers various colours and variants, such as Gloss Light Blue, Silver, and different matt colour options.

How should I clean the surface after a session?

Use a clean, soft cloth to gently wipe away any fuel residue as soon as possible after your flight or operation.

What is the best way to store the aerosol can?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the shelf life of the enamel.

Troubleshooting

Paint is bubbling or blistering after contact with fuel

This is likely due to the high nitro content of the fuel. Always wipe spilled fuel off the surface immediately.

Spray nozzle is clogging

Clean the nozzle by wiping with a solvent-dampened cloth or, if necessary, remove and soak in a suitable thinner before replacing.

Finish appears uneven or 'orange-peeled'

Ensure the surface temperature is moderate and maintain a consistent distance while spraying; avoid applying the paint in extremely humid conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for secondary fuel-proofing steps
  • Provides a high-quality, professional matt finish
  • Easy to apply using the convenient 400ml aerosol format
  • Excellent for protecting scale models from accidental spills

Cons

  • Resistance performance depends heavily on the fuel's nitro content
  • Requires immediate wiping after fuel exposure to prevent surface blistering
  • Not intended for prolonged submersion or heavy-duty chemical exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, always shake the aerosol can thoroughly for at least two minutes before use to ensure the enamel pigments and binders are properly mixed. Spray in light, sweeping motions at a distance of about 20-30cm from the model to prevent runs or pooling. Compatibility should be verified by spraying a small, inconspicuous 'test swatch' first, especially when layering over different paint types. Always store the can in a cool, dry place and ensure the nozzle is cleared after use by turning the can upside down and spraying until the discharge runs clear.
