The rich colours apply with ease and leave a superb finish which is why they've been trusted by modellers for decades. All are enamel based and no additional fuel proofer is required for normal fuel usage provided the surface is cleaned after each flying session. The degree of fuel resistance will depend on the nitro content of the fuel to which it is exposed, with its fuel resistance diminishing with higher nitro content. Wipe off fuel as soon as possible to avoid blistering and always test your fuel on a paint swatch before exposure.
This guide is for modelers seeking a durable and fuel-resistant paint finish. Guild Lane Chroma Enamel Fuelproof Paint provides a rich, glossy finish that resists fuel exposure, protecting your models from damage. However, its fuel resistance lessens with higher nitro content in the fuel, requiring careful application and maintenance.
