    i am going to save you a headache, DONT USE CLEAR

    i did that once a few yrs back, sprayed the intake alluminum so it looked new hit it with high heat clear same as normal turned yellow, even cleard the heads so they would be easy to wipe down yellow, trust me what ever you do dont clear.

    now that said i would go pewter to match the car leave fuel rails alone, or have it powder coated but pull all rubber parts and tubes, just remember were they go.
    add wrapped fuel lines

          ahhh plastic, then its hard to powder coat, but all the parts i had painted and used clear turned yellow, but i drive mine alot, i think over the last 2 yrs yours has been in a paint shop a few times, inter done, more paint, some more suspension or motor parts... yea i guess clear would be ok, lol
