I am restoring a piece of equipment that is painted bright silver. I have used the Rust-Oleum industrial spray that looks great, but is not fuel resistant. If I spill some gas on the painted tank it quickly dissolves or stains the paint.
What brand would you all suggest? I'd prefer a spray can but I can spray liquid paint. Powdercoating is not an option on this machine.

An enamel from the tractor supply should work well as far as not dissolving, within reason, but I believe the staining issue is due to the gasoline itself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I can't name a brand, but I would look for a two-component epoxy. If you can't find silver epoxy, I would try mixing some oil-base silver paint with clear epoxy. Aluminum flakes hide really well, so it shouldn't take very much.
Thanks JR. Excellent suggestion.
