No need to clear the entire car,... but I would suggest that you clear the entire panels on which you've done the art work. Tape those panels off,.... wash the panels with a good silicone and wax remover,... and sand the entire panel with 800 grit sandpaper. This will give both your art work and the clear that goes beyond the art work enough tooth for adhesion so that it won't peel off later.

Yep I would do the entire pannel you're working on.

I am using Acrylic colors, that are really dull until I clear coat the area with Rustoleum Crystal Clear Acrylic spray.

What really is the best way and product to do this?
