Clear coat?

Spraying the parts of the S2 with cans, would you put a couple of coats of clear coat over the top or not bother?

Personal choice but in my opinion too much gloss on an old bit of machinery, mower or otherwise, looks wrong.

Fair enough, couple of coats of paint and a flat off with a 3M pad it is then.  Restoring to a usable machine rather than a bit of garden furniture.  Parts in electrolysis then getting primed in grey filler primer, what final paint would you recommend, spray rather than brush?
