painted calibers, should i clear coat too?

well i purchased the whole dupxi kit for painting my brakes. I bought the red kit for the caliber and also picked up a can of black for the inner rotor rust and rear shield. My question is has anyone ended the process with a coat of clear over the calibers for an added shine? or maybe even a decent coat of zaino?

Now that would be an a test of Zaino the manufacturers may not have intended to do...

Pass on the clear coat and the Zaino unless you don't actually drive your car.

Might turn to yellow clear with the heat.
They do make "high temp" clear but I see no need to do it.

I think calipers would look better with flat color instead of shiny one.
