Yup, I'm going to see about a clear polyeurothane top coal to cover my rustoleum.  I have a few pieces of metal that I was doing some testing on, so I can test before I spray.  I'll also mask out a small portion on the underside of the tank and test that too before I spray the tank...   thanks for your feedback.  I googled the whole situation 5 different ways and read up on the polyeurathane clear top coat you have suggested and I'm leaning that way if testing indicates there won't be any "reaction" with the existing paint. 


Research indicated that these automotive paints have this weird recoat window that I was not really aware of.  Some paints need to cure as long as 2 weeks if you don't recoat them within the first hour of spraying the first coat...  I supose I should follow the damn directions more closely.  It wet sanded so nicely that I assumed it was hard enough to recoat, but I was wrong and need to let it cure, do the testing, and then procede.  Typically, I need to fuck stuff up first before I do my homework and learn to do it right...  I guess this is just another one of those times...  Thanks again for your help
