any automotive clear coat will work. sand all you sheet metal with&nbsp\\;2000 grit wet sand paper and then shoot clear on.

I am repairing a chip, so I had to sand down through the clear coat and paint to spray&nbsp\\;over the&nbsp\\;removed coats.&nbsp\\; I used HD touch up paint and am wondering&nbsp\\;which clear coats&nbsp\\;are compatible with HD's?
Thanks,
GEESE&nbsp\\;
