Rattle can clear coat?

no they do not... just dont spill gas all over it and your will be fine i have used flat clear from rustoleum painters touch before and it held up great, i have also dropped a cup of gas on the tank after filling it in the garage, poured some water down on it and it was fine

engine enamal will not work unless you bake it to get it to cure temp, without that it will not have any gas resistance and be a very weak finish
any hardware store will carry this... i suggest the semi gloss under it
here is 2 bikes painted with it
semi gloss black with satin clear
I even added some airbrush work under the clear.. not bad for rattle can
flat black base w/ flat clear
yes i use it all the time... here is a few step by steps from my sled hood
primer/ start after fixing some body work areas
base in semi gloss
flat clear
dry flat clear
done and on the sled

Very nice, you've got me considering semi gloss w/ flat clear now. What kind of paint (in an aerosol can) would you suggest, then? I just assumed engine enamel would be tougher and the cans I looked at didn't mention a curing process unlike some of the super high heat paints I saw so I thought it would work well. Just standard flat (or semi gloss) black spray paint?
Thanks for your advice.

man read above that is the paint i used... i answered your question about the gas and paint. yes a 2 part clear is going to have better gas resistance... no paint is gas proof... another option would be to send us the tins and we can powder them in flat black for you.. then you don't have to worry about it at all... DO NOT USE ENGINE ENAMEL unless you are going to bake it... you must bake an engine paint to get the gas resistance... without that it is a weak weak paint
