I still think I would avoid all that and stick with 2 part clears from a real spray gun.

I once used a 2K rattle can in satin clear. You know the kind where you push a little button on the bottom and shake to mix. I was doing a cheap job on a headlight bucket for a bike and it was the cheapest (but still around $25 if I recall) way to go for a friend. It turned out just O.K. not bad but not great. I would not do it again and now that I have a dedicated clear gun, will always use the proper material--way better (and easier) end result.
