I've tried a few things that never seem to look the same.

I end up doing all my parts by hand, using different products

Do you use mineral spirits to thin it like you would with the rustoleum?

After reading the product description it mentions chemical resistance. Anyone tested this by spilling gasoline on it? I'm going to paint a motorcycle tank and wonder how it will hold up to gas dribbles.
