Has anyone tried some kind of final coat of paint, or a type of *clear-coat*,
on the inside of their RC bodies, to protect from nitro fuel?
I have noticed some "blotching" in my paint jobs, from nitro getting on the
paint.
Just wondering if there was a product out there that may be more resistant to
nitro than the paint I'm using. (Polycarbonate paint, designated for RC)

You're gonna want something that is lacquer-based or "nitro-proof." My
favorite is Parma Faskoat. One or two coats will do the trick.
