1 Paint resistance to Fuel Mon Jun 28, 2021 4:02 am

(May be US specific issue due to environmental laws) I just noticed tonight that a section of paint around the fuel cap had bubbled up and turned soft. Now the gas tank was painted almost a year ago and has been subject to minor splashes of fuel in the filling process for some months. The paint itself was one of those from a spray can with hardner. In the past I've had almost no problem with paint with hardner added. But that was back when we could get the hardner as a separate product and mixed it with the paint in a gun. So let me differentiate. This is the rattle can which has hardner in a separate compartment and you strike a button on the bottom to allow the hardner to mix with the paint. And this paint is a one coat, not the two part which has, a can of color and then a can of clear coat. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem arise and if so what their solution was and how well did it work.
Know any products that will prevent or cover up such problems?
