Advice in air brushing a helmet

Hi All

My daughter is trying to airbrush her helmet. We got her some automotive paint and she spent ages on the painting. When she got to the clear 2k it didn't come out properly. I phoned the paint shop and they said that she was supposed to mix the paint 2:1 with the 2k. I was a bit angry that that didn't come up when we were there buying the equipment and asking for advice but anyway... I'm just asking for advice here before she takes all the paint off and starts again.

Is there no other option? Someone mentioned getting a clear coat mixed with the hardener and painting that over it. She spent so long and really doesn't want to start again. Do we even have the correct paint for the job? At this point any advice will be appreciated. Having wasted so much time has really left her disappointed and discouraged.
