Clear coat or Not?

[tony2face]

Hey guys, just needed some advice, I painted some interior trims and was wondering should i clear coat them?
1.If i clear coat would it be to shiny?
2.If not clear coated would it scratch easily?

Yes! Clear them! I made that mistake and had to redo everything.

YES CLEAR THEM. The benefits are:
shiny
looks good
if you scratch them you could always buff it out.

Make sure you put a least 3 coats.

I used PlastiKote Vinyl paint. And yes i clear coated, it came out pretty nice.
Now contemplating on doing bottom half of my dash Tomorrow.

Ah I used krylon fusion for mine, Stuff works wonders especially if you rough up the surface a bit first.
