HAha since my car is black, no problem there. It matches a little but isn't as shiny. clear coat will just make it easy to scratch. I already have two small clear coats on it. I bought the autodynamic grill and cut the top off. Then bondo and expoy it untill i was satify. Take your time. I ended up sanding and painting it 3-4 TIMES!. yea im anal. i want things perfect. It's nice to see your masterpeice. have fun
