Using Auto Paint in Restoration of Antique Bed

I'm restoring an antique metal bed. I've sandblasted, sanded, sprayed etching primer, and a high build automotive primer to it. I was thinking about using a PPG automotive line base/clear. What are my other options? Are there any reasons I shouldn't use automotive paint on it?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Zach,

The only reason I could think of in using an automotive finish is cost.
