I'm hoping to shoot a 2k clear coat with the spraymax aerosol cans as well.
I picked up two cans on saturday for a tank, side covers, and a helmet. I will post results when I'm done which hopefully will be this week sometime. Spraymax cans were something like $21 a piece. Which isn't terrible for no clean-up and no mixing or any extra work…. (if it works out that is….)
Here is a link to an old thread review of the Spraymax cans http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=166233&highlight=clear+coat

Any reasonable quality 2K clear should work, clear coat is clear coat.
The answer to the finish lies in the prep and finish.
If the data sheet says it will hold up, it will keep its end of the deal, but if you get lazy with the prep work it is going to look nasty regardless, and probably fail early.
Same goes for the finishing.
I use a 2K system in a can, due to the fact that I don't have a compressor so have no option, it is a system by Plascon, however I have a deal with my paint shop and the product inside the can is Spies Hecker, the results speak for themselves.

Hey flyboy. That looks great!
Can I ask what grit you used on the paint to give it some tooth? And how you sprayed the clear. I'm a little confused as to what steps I should all take to get a great finish.
