most rattle can paints will not hold up to gasoline ..... not sure what the "clear coat" base material is... You might have been further ahead without the clear top coat..

 Professional paints like on a car or truck were normally  acrylic enamel in years past.. Hardware store paint is alkyln enamel and will not hold up good against gasoline puddles.. a quick WIPE maybe, but not extended contact.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.
