I actually got a very acceptable $60.00 paint job on my race car by using Valspar paint, available at Tractor Supply Company. I did use a cheapo spray gun rather than a roller. Now that race season is over for me, I'd like to get some more durability and gloss by "clearing" the car. Is there any clear that is preferred to use over the enamel? What about a 2k clear. I have already water sanded with 600.


I am currently considering clearing my rusto for the winter with the cheapo 70 dollar a gallon martin senour paint line from napa. I also know that duplicolor makes their laquer line (called paint shop, available at autozone), that may add gloss and durability. Unfortunately, from what I have heard about the paint shop line, this may not last for long before it begins to deteriorate. I've also read about people using minwax spar polyurethane(like you'd use on wood floors) although I am skeptical and think it is likely to yellow.
