Not only that...you have to prep the paint for the clear to adhere...and being a metallic...you will disturb or destroy the metallic structure...and when you apply clear on top of it...it will show that the metallics are no longer evenly dispursed. A big mistake. AND if you try to put clear on top if it without prepping it...the clear will NOT adhere and fly off in time...in big sheets.
Lastly...the previous paint was not...more than likely ...properly prepped...and it is possible in time you will start to have problems..because there is no way to paint a car correctly and have it last for $500 ...paint materials and labor included. This car...whenever it is neediing to be painted again...will require stripping of all paint...and start from scratch. Enjoy what you have for the time being.

Thanks DUB,
My son and I are restoring a 71 vette. We wanted to practice shooting something and he offered up his 1992 truck that we put a bottom end paint job on. We weren't looking for perfection or long lasting results, just practice. Thanks for the advise.

In your original post...I thought you were asking the question to see if it could be done with good results....and not just pratice.
