Paint looks good, Matt!  I just recently finished a 60 Chevy that is much the same kit. The only issue I had was the body fit with the interior in and onto the frame. Take a look at the grove on the dash and door cards where the windshield is suppose to sit. I am told that is the issue. My solution was to use clamps over the frame and body. But a better solution might be to make sure the windshield sits properly in the grove on the dash and door cards.

To answer your question, i think you could just clear it and it will look fine. I like to protect the paint and rub it out to give it a deep gloss look. Good luck with your build! ?
