i dont think theres a need to clearcoat the alipers when painted anyways.
all you are left with after some hard braking is some clearcoat pitting...
happend to my friend so i never put any on any of my cars (or him on his for that matter), the paint already is very glossy

If the clearcoat is applied properly it increases the durability of the paint significantly and will not blister or pit. Usually people have problems because they wait too long to apply the clear (it should be applied shortly after the last color coat) or they apply the first coats too thick.

You CANNOT clear coat over the xenonmods decals - they don't accept paint.
