Some of the online paints are a base coat and then clear coat. I have a local paint supplier that mixes up 524 hugger orange and it's dead on with a single stage paint. No clear coat needed. I have only used it in the interior like the wall where the gas tank mounts. It's an enamel, but dries very fast. The seller told me to paint in the morning when cooler for best results. Works great. It started at 14.95 a can, then 34.95, and last time I bought it at 34.95. I'll be buying a couple more cans shortly. I guess I can mortgage my house. Attached is a picture. Says it's SEM 61993 and a picture of the recipe. I bought a couple of cans at another supplier and apparently they mixed it by hand instead of a computer match. Tossed both cans. By the way I think on a large surface like a hood you'll have over spray issues with spray cans.
