[Tigers] Fuel resistant paint recommendations

[Smit, Theo]

I used K&B Super-Poxy (that's gotta be at least 25 years ago now) on RC
model airplanes where I was using 30 to 35% nitromethane fuel - the
remainder was methanol and synthetic oil. The paint does not come off or
discolour. I think what you have to worry about is that the clearcoat
might lift the Ford Blue, so try a test piece first.
