Lacquer?

It was at least a week before I put any fuel in it and no problems so far. 👍

Hi, RS Bike Paints do an isocyontate free clear coat that isn't nasty to spray and goes on quite nice, takes a couple of weeks to harden but polishes really well - http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-gb/motorcycle-product-details.php?category=lacquer&productid=lacquer400ml
DaveN:
Thanks for all the advice and sympathy folks.
Spent today seeing if I can salvage the tank. First stop was 800 grit wet and dry.

Then 1200...

Finished off with 1500

And touched up the red as I had to go a bit deep on the top edge to get it smooth.

Letting this all dry off and will decide what lacquer to use tomorrow.
OZZYSBIKES:
I recently painted my trials bike tank with non isocyanate 2K aerosol that the supplier (Ebay) claims is as good as proper 2K I know it's not because my brother was a car body repairer for 30 years but I have given it a go, the paint and the lacquer were both non isocyanate 2K but after leaving the job 3 days I splashed petrol on it and it marked the lacquer, I managed to polish it back up and I have left it two more weeks, it's definitely a lot harder so hopefully it's going to be petrol resistant now (as the manufacturers claim)
Re paint compatibility, my brother reckoned that proper 2K is compatible with almost any other paint and it is fully petrol proof once hard but you have the isocyanate problem, it can be really nasty stuff causing long term health problems I would only ever paint with it outside with a mask on and for short periods of time (like a bike)

Most... if not all 2 Pack these days is Iso Cyanate free due to the OHS rules and regs.
There are plenty of good quality ISO free 2 pack spray cans of clear.. Eastwood paints are generally pretty good.. and their 2 Pack looks to have some really good points over standard

there are a number of rustoleum videos around as well showing their 2 pack clear.
