For the Rustoleum 2,000 I was looking online and couldn't read the instructions on the can but some of the reviews said you have to bake it using mutiple bakes at different temperatures, but I don't know for sure.

YW.
I did some research on the 2000 rustoleum you mentioned, it is intended for automotive applications just like the type I used, says its fuel & oil resistant. I might try that next time I need to clear something.
Also found the directions, looks like it can be cured in a oven, if you dont have access to one or the part is on the car it says you can cure it on the car too, thats how other high temp paints like POR-20 header paint or exhaust manifold paint say to do it... let dry for stated times then start the engine for a few minutes the 1st time, let cool then run a little longer, let cool then run for like 30 minutes & let cool. Obviously depending on the location of the part the run times may be longer such as headers vs an intake. can use a infrared temp gun to check the temps.
I think the matte finish will get you closer to the ideal sheen but the gloss isnt too glossy IMO on cast parts with a texture & does dull up pretty quick. Heres a link to the instructions-
