[ST] Clear coat on the 06 ST tank?

I pulled one of my typical bonehead maneuvers this week end on a day ride with a buddy. Some where along the way I must have caught a golf ball size rock between me and the tank. It seems the rock was really happy to be getting a free lift; it stuck around long enough to scrape hell out of the clear coat on the tank in an area about the size of the palm of my hand. I sanded the clear coat off in the area using 800 grit wet sand paper, switched to 1200 and then 1500 grit paper to feather the edge of the clear coat. I then rubbed it out with three progressively finer grades of 3M rubbing, polishing, and finishing compounds.
The question: does anyone have any recommendations as to what product to use to respray the area?
Thanks in advance
