Have never touched the paint with the nozzle or dripped a drop of gas on the paint. OK... so I'm picky!

Got mine for $9 and it works great. And I need it.
Stupid GM black paint scratches if you look at it funny. Why is that?? I have never had a car that scratches as easliy as this Vette - and from what I have read here, everyone has this problem.
What - a $50,000 car get crap paint, but my $15,000 Ricer gets excellent metallic scratch resistant with a deep clear coat paint???
Rant off.
And yes I know that I am
so I just need to 
now

Maybe I wrong but I think the thing is to keep the cap off the paint ,not the gas .If I remember right most gas doors have a slot to put the cap in while filling up and the vette doesnot so it has to hand down on the side of the car,.But I could be wrong.

There's a slot on the filler door that the cap sits on. That's another reason to have one of these things. The slot does a poor job of holding the gas cap. Once in a blue moon, I don't get the cap on the slot properly and the cap falls against the side of the car. If I didn't have my little black bib, I'd probably have chips in my, ever so chipable, mag red paint.
