Fuel Proof Paint

Anyone know of a good, fuel proof paint? I picked up a Jerry can, and it's in need of a repaint. I figure that standard spray paint wouldn't work, because the fuel would dissolve the paint

Any suggestions are appreciated

Sorry but that just doesn't exist.....Imron would probably be the most resistant though

Any good quality urethane paint will work just fine.

If you can find a PPG distributor near you, there is a paint called AUE360 in their Commercial Performance Coatings line that is extremely fuel resistant. We painted a panel black and poured fuel on it in the hot sun and left it pooled on the panel. It didn't even soften the paint. Plus, its pretty inexpensive. Only available in basic colors though. Also available in low gloss.
