Patching paint

I will soon be welding in a rust patch panel and fixing assorted paint chips on my light ivory colored 240D. Because I don't have a spray gun or compressor my plan is to smooth the repair area with 600 grit paper then mask around the repair and paint using an aerosol automotive primer and some color matched paint I had the local paint place put in an aerosol can for me. Then I will unmask, smooth out the ridge of paint from the masking and apply clear coat.

My concern is the clear coat. I read on the forum that this car has a solvent based clear coat, which are no longer available. Will I have a compatibility problem using a modern clear coat? Any other tips or suggestions? Thank you. –Bryan
