Update:
I just tested the paint durability.
First off, I didn’t cure the cover in the oven for an hour after the first hour at 30 degrees, I only used a heatgun for around 20 Min. Without measuring the temperature.
For the durability test, I used wd40, gasoline, engine oil and diesel. I took each Test and literally rubbed on the cover using a lot of pressure. Only the gasoline did any easily seen damage, as you can see.
Since I had to really rub it to remove the paint, and the paint hadn’t had a proper curing process, I’m thinking this paint might be good enough, once it’s cured in an oven.
Top right corner is WD40
The upper stripe is engine oil
Middle stripe under the logo is gasoline
The bottom stripe is diesel
