I would *NOT* clearcoat the dashpad... Just for the simple fact it woudl become more reflective.. and make it hard to see when driving during the day

I clear coated everything except the top part for the simple fact of the glare like NeonRT98 was talking about, and if possible try using a flat color. I used black with some sparkles looks good.

Thats actually an old pic, it looks a lot better now. Ill try and post a pic later.
My plan is to paint the door panels to match the dash. Black on top white on bottom. It should look pretty fricken sweet.
