Here is the update on the email converstation with RS paints over the cloud silver issue......(FOR CRANKCASES)
As you will see, they are using the cloud silver base as a water based base....
Then a clearcoat of two pack...
Two pack can stand fuel on it once it is cured, it is a good idea to wipe spilt fuel off, But I believe they were being cautious in their advice, as of course tanks and frames are done in two pack with no probs.
The good thing here is that they do a "satin-two- pack- clear-laquer" which I believe will be more appropriate for the crankcases as a "high-gloss" would not look correct.
The bad thing is (for me) I will have to get on to devilbiss and buy a different jet for my spray gun to spray water based base coat...saying that it was going to happen sooner or later.......anyways heres the email:
