Spraymax two part clear spray can
also appliance paint available at most hardware stores I agree on the Spraymax 2K,.. that is the one I mentioned in reply #5. I haven't used it yet, though. There are several mentions of it in various forums that say it works well with the following provisos: -- It is not gas PROOF, just gas resistant. Some have said when gas spills on the finish, if you can rinse it off with water right away, then blot gently, it won't hurt anything. However, if wet gas stays on it for more than a minute or so, some drying time, followed by some sanding and rubbing will be required, so, obviously, it won't last anywhere that gas visits very often. -- Once you activate the mix of the two parts inside the can, you have to use it within 48 hours. -- It'll literally kill you if you breathe the fumes much. Do the painting outside and use a fume-proof respirator (not cheap). A woodshop respirator won't do. -- The stuff is cheap compared to what you'd spend on proper cans of paint, hardener, and reducer, and on the equipment to spray it. $25 a can. But you'll need two or three cans, and a proper respirator. Now we're talkin' over $100.
I am going to try it for my half of the Double RYCA build.
I have not found any appliance paint, epoxy or otherwise, that can have gas spill on it and not be damaged. Vers, if you you've found a source, spill the beans, please.
