Gas Tank Woes [Texas] 

+++

Recently I have painted 2 plastic gas tanks from Honda three wheelers. I used acrylic enamel with all the std prep. All was well until they were filled with fuel. Apparently the gas fumes actually leech out of the plastic and attack the paint as it all blistered & peeled off in sheets. Does anyone know of anything that will prohibit the fumes from leeching. I have thought about some type of rubberized undercoating to use as a barrier. Any thoughts????
