I would wet sand then shoot a good quality epoxy primer then prep that then either apply single stage or 2k. Why would clear a rad support anyway?

I don't trust any coating which comes on an aftermarket part if I am going for a high end finished product.
My biggest concern is not the coating, but rather, the prep done prior to the application of the coating. Crossed fingers are not all that effective in keeping paint where it belongs for several years.
