Don't bother with high build for alloys, get them nice and smooth through sanding instead. High build's only really for applicatios with rough textures, if you've sanded the alloys flat you shouldn't need it.
Upol is probably the best 1K paint i've used, the #1 clear goes on really nicely. It's just not very tough compared to proper 2K stuff. If you want a good petrol resistant clear look for Mipa 2K clear. It has a button underneath you push into it to mix the hardener and is identical to the stuff used in spray guns, but in a can.
You can get a good finish out of almost any paint though. But cheaper, tackier paints take more work. I painted my DRB's with Halfords stuff as it was all I could get hold of at the time but are coming up shiny with some wet sanding and polishing.
