The Advice you need will be written on the tin...

Hammer has a moderate Sheen especially from a can. But from the gun, it will give more depth, making it appear glossier.

Your finish is fine for a base coat,but needs to be applied heavier for a better hammered finish.

Using a clear coat will probably cause issues,unless you let the base cure fully, and the clear is fuel resistant. Otherwise it will more than likely blister...


Im unsure what type of paint you used, so I cant answer your fuel questions. But as Before, if it doesnt cure fully, you wont have a chance of fuel spill causing damage.

Forget the clear, save your money...

And yes the Cowl on the left is S3.

Pull or Recoil starter are both accurate for originality...but since its Coral Red, I guess originality is not important?

Reminds me of an early Masport Colour...

Btw...What was the original post title?
