So I was filling up today. And for the first time since buying the bike it overflowed after I put the gas cape back on. The paint on it is rattle can with no clear coat I think. Well paint starting to come off so going need another paint job. Here the question what a good brand rattle can that will last if gas get on it. Or what a good process should I use a clear coat etc. any help or idea what worked for y'all what didn't work

Made that mistake once also. Best product is Eastwood 2k. Expensive but you only have to do it once. Gas proof.

Ok good to know. Thanks

Edit took a look you are taking about the clear coat correct? How many cans did you need

It is a one shot (activated) clear. You can't use it again later. I used one can on my tank, and used it up by applying 5-6 coats.

Here is another option:

I've never used but read good things about it a few years ago when I needed a fuel proof clear coat. I ended up selling the bike before I got around to it. Just double check what you spray over for compatibility.
