Just started the paint job on the 6 UM last night. This is the most in depth I've gone on a paint job yet and the last thing to decide is whether to clear coat it, and how. In the past I've done some of both. Years ago I tried a matte clear coat that was awful. Yellowed, wore quickly, and looked awful. Since then I've just left the paint without a clear coat of any kind.
On this project I'm debating using an enamel automotive clear coat. That would leave a gloss finish, but the plan would be to do several coats and then rough it up with Scotchbrite.
Those who have done it different ways, what is your experience?

Those who have done it different ways, what is your experience?
- Leave as-painted for easier touch up?
- Automotive clear coat and rough it up later?
- Other options?
