I bought a can of this paint and it is awesome.

I painted the carb (it is fuel proof), splash shields and other stuff. The black is probably the deepest black that I have seen in a spray can.

It sprays well and had a great shine. $7.99.

If it performs anything like other aerosols, any part exposed to the sun will soon go cloudy and powdery. Maybe this one is different but I'm not holding my breath
 
I agree the paint is great and have use it on a lot of carburetors. Trouble is I have been trying to get it without success for a couple of months now. Did you get yours from Hobby Town?
 
This is a good product for use when restoring a Zenith. I have used it for a number of years and found that it does not deteriorate with age or heat cycling. it is fuel proof to a point. If you have a float valve allowing seepage and it seeps out the weep hole in the base of the throat it will cause the paint on the bottom to become soft as long as it is wet with fuel. However, when it dries the paint will again become hard.

This company use to offer a dull version of this product with the stock number ending one digit off. They discontinued it for some reason. I liked it better for a Zenith.

Tom,
Plastikote has a Hot Rod Black Lacquer. That looks good and holds up well on Zenith's..

I got it at RC Hobbies & More, Winstead Ct. 860 738 7534. They charged $11.95 to ship.

They were the only ones that had this sku. From what I am told it is hard to get.

Try Tower Hobbies
 
As Vince said this product has been well documented on the barn as a great fuel proof paint. I use it exclusively when rebuilding Zenith carbs. I have also used epoxy paint but it does not hold up nearly as well especially with dripping carbs.
 
Excellent paint.
Available at Hobby Lobby, Michaels Craft Store, Ace Hobbies, Venice FL.
Probably at all large hobby stores suporting the radio controlled air craft hobby.

I went to Hobby Town looking for Lustrekote....they had all colors except black, said they couldn't get it in black from their supplier.
I searched on the web and found that Home Depot carries fuel resistant spray paint made by Rust-oleum.
I painted two carbs with it and it really looks swell.

Ace Hardware sells a spray gloss Lacquer and I have used it on Zenith carbs and it resists gasoline. I like the fact that it dries within minutes. Good stuff. It's under the Ace label of spray paints.
