I don't know if I find that reassuring for even more disturbing!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm going to have to go with the latter.

Curious about this as well. I spilled a little gas on mine right around the gashole before the paint had cured... now I got just a bit of bubbling around that the recessed cap don't cover.

If the painter is good then after the paint is cured you should have no problem.

Not to dispute the vast wealth of knowledge here from my best chums but there sure is a lot of concern and past conversations on gas vapors getting under the paint and peeling it up. Don't blame me Im just the messenger. I feel secure that my painter is good and he did use the best products { House of color } and On his suggestion of a sealed gas cap I was willing to go the $35 for peace of mind. But I guess they don't make one that looks like a stock cap, so I will just hope its all good. Paint will probably out live me.
