looks nice, don't spray paint it.

spray paint comes right off, when gas hits it. .. . or anything else for that matter

appliance enamel isn't affected by gas.

Diamond Vogel (local paint store) sells a type of industrial/implement paint in rattle cans, it has stood up to oil, gas, 2t oil and tranny fluid without running fading or rubbing off, hell it's even hard to scratch.  It's like 5.00 a can but it's one coat wonder shit.

i can attest to the farm paint. it has a different cure rate than the appliance paint though. but the farm paint works great too and has a few more color options. if youre doing multi stage with both types, just let one cure a week before doing the other.
