Someone that has never painted berfore in their life with a spray can of clear coat in their garage < Professional painter at a bodyshop with a paint gun in a paint booth with an oven.

You may be able to get it to look good but the quality will never be the same.

Ryan paid $20 to have them clear coated at a bodyshop. You will pay around $10 if not more for a can of clear and then you have to do it yourself.
