But cant you buy ClearCoat in a spraycan? Instead of clear over gloss black, just do clear over flat black. would that just make it glossy? maybe i need to go to the paint store and see what they got.

I have a friend that can spray, and if i did spray the clear coat, it wouldn't be over spray can black, i would have him do the black as well.

Thanks Again
The clear in a spray can is enamel... it's not fuel-safe. Pretty much anything in a spray can, unless you had it custom-mixed, is going to be non-fuel-safe enamel. You need a catalyzed clear over the black.

I retract my earlier statement until I get ahold of my paint supplier. The enamels that come in spray cans is not fuel-safe. To my knowledge, Single-Stage Enamel is the same stuff. If you are talking about Acrylic Urethane Single Stage.. yes.. it's fuel-safe. However, Acrylic Enamel, to my knowledge is not. I will contact my local supplier and find out today. Hopefully they dont try to pimp some out to me...
