Okay so i got this stuff from a guy on ebay its the "Rapid Curing" 2k Clear coat in a can, my old "duplicolor" or whatever autozone clear coat was absolutely destroyed by even the sight of gasoline from a mile away!
, first you shake it for like 5 minutes, take this red cap off the top then stick it on the bottom of the can where there is a little nipple and slam down on it to activate it (good for 24 hours once activated), i sanded off my old clear coat on my tank and prepped it before hand, the can has several warnings saying you Must use a respirator, the guy who sold it to me said the same, anyways its high chemical stuff!
once you start to spray it is amazing how it comes out like a big cloud of smoke! really good stuff guys! i got the surface tacky, then put about 3 coats of clear on the tank and the can was done... let it cure for about 24 hours (normal duplicolor clear coat takes about a full week) if you guys know me i cant stand it when my bike is down, woke up the next day and tested on the edges and the clear coat and it was hard!! no fingerprints/lines could be made only after sitting 24 hours! (i left it in the sun after 2pm for about 4 hours then left it in my garage probably a cool 75* the majority of the time..) i had to go fill up at the gas station
and what do you know! no matter how hard i tried i still got 1 good drop of gas on the tank! 
i practically jumped/dropped everything and tried to wipe it off with my finger first then my shirt (people around me were like 
) ... the thing rolled off like it was a glass table! didnt eat away AT ALL
-i looked REALLY close and it did not eat away whatsoever the drop of gas sat for about 10 seconds too.. Guys i didnt even wet Sand + Buff/Wax yet and the gas did nothing!! only after about a day of curing too! im gonna wait till the end of the week to wax/buff, then it can only be better/more resistant
From now on im gonna get colored paint from autozone but i will NEVER use acrylic enamel clear coat EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am always going to use this rapid curing 2k clear coat! i swear by it! i also have a can of the the regular "non-rapid curing" 2k clear coat.. i would imagine it gets much harder and element resistant than the rapid curing can? i dont know i dont have years and years for things to "cure" in my book so you know what im buying again next time... This is for all you old school rattle can people/whoever without the air compressor and gun... this stuff is a miracle in a can! i would definitly use a respirator+ googles though when i took the respirator off the chemical and toxic smell was all over my shirt etc. and it smelled BAD, anyways thanks for reading i just thought i would share my good experience considering i have so many bad ones!

i gotta say guys im finally really satisfied like i know i did a good job this time! i have a lot more pride in my bike now and i feel more confident displaying it around to people, i knew my GS750 was special all along but now people can really SEE especially in the sun where mistakes are usually shown.. this is comming from a guy who did his tank about 4 times, i had to strip it down to metal 3 times, NO FUN.. and to watch your tank get destroyed by a simple gas spill its very upsetting.. the tank is lookin sharp now! all black, i will post pictures after im done wetsanding buffing it out..
