theres no reason you cant.... if you use regular clear coat, it will give it a nice sheen, and make it more resistant to tearing....it just wont peel off as easily. youll have to chip it off.

if you want a gloss look from PD, but also want to be able to remove it, plastidip makes a "glossifier" spray that will give it a shiny look but is just as easy to remove.

Yup lots of people do, I didnt know they had a glossifier though. It also keeps it looking good. I love the flat black, but everything sticks plastidip, when you clear them you can really clean them without risking teariing it off. Learned the hard way, had to redo all 4 when I got a lil to agressive and tore 1.

Yea if you want gloss you just go over the flat black with their glossifier. My Walmart sells it. Just has a clear lid.

In my opinion you should just keep it stock. The plasti dip idea is not bad for you to make sure if you prefer blackened out over stock or vice versa.
