    Does urethane paint have the same fuel proof ability as epoxy? Does anyone have any experience with these?

    If you mean 2 part mixed polyurethane like auto painters use, I
    believe the answer is Yes.
    But as for hobbyist or HomeDepot urethane brands, I kind of doubt it.
    I will be interested when the chemists among us give us their take.

    Hi Denny!

    I noticed KlassKote now offers a 2 pt. urethane clear coat. See: http://klasskote.com/pro1078581.html
    The price was about the same as the epoxy, so I decided to stay with the KK epoxy.

    For a fuel proof (25%) rattle can, I’ve been happy with Topflite LustreKote.
