3 boys in the house and the baseboard is only a few inches from the side of
the toilet = splahed urine and rusty baseboard. I have painted these before
with Rustoleum spray, but it only looked good for a short time. Is there
another type of paint, or maybe a clearcoat I could use to stop this?

You need to first remove all previous paint. Then sand it until there
is no rust. Fix any defects with Bondo scratch filler. Then prime
with oil based primer (like Rustoleum). Put as many costs on until
you can't see the metal. Then paint, with Rustoleum oil based paint.
Rustoleum is the best paint I've ever used, and I would paint a car
with it.

Boys will be boys. Talk to them in any case as you have to take them to
public places and other folks' homes.

Now, if you prepare the baseboards (sanding and or steel wool) and prime
them and then paint them, they will hold up for years unless they are
rusting through from the back.

Metal baseboards? Never seen that, ever- only wood or vinyl. Or are you
talking about baseboard heater outlets? If that, I'd just replace them, once
the boys are old enough to aim.
