When i clear coated my doorpanel controls, they came out spotty so i had to sand and re-do without the clear coat

Start with A, down the line if you decide you like it and want more then you can paint more and make it into design B...

EDIT: Oops, saw you already painted. Definitely clearcoat. It'll get scratched and nicked from putting things and people in and out of the car.

Yea, I would definitely clear coat it. What type of clear coat did you use last time? I noticed that Duplicolor clear coat works excellent...try that. Most likely two coats

I didn't see the part where you listed the brand. So remind me again what brand you used before of clear coat

Quick how to,
Take trim off (use other how to's to take off)
Take trim to Chevy dealer that is painting your door cause the service department scratched it. While painting door, have them paint Trim too.
They sanded and preped and painted a exact color match to the Laser blue.
Pay $100 for 9 pieces of plastic painted to match car.
Allow to dry and put back on.

Lol, I was lazy and they had the color there.

The trim turned out extremely well, except for a small plastic bump (like a tiny pebble) in one piece.
