i just used my duplicolor clearcoat....same brand as my super white duplicolor paint make sure if you paint multiple parts you put the same amount of clear coats because it ends up turning out one shinyer....shiner...shineyer...you get the idea

i painted all interior parts.
used a spray clear coat of velmar from lowes, it makes it pretty close to an automobile finish when it drys.
done right, it should never yellow or crack, but make SURE that you let the clear top coats dry for like 2days before messing with them.
you will need like 12 THIN coats to do a really good auto coat.

i have had several professionals ask where i got mine done.
its the paint and the number of clear coats you use.
but if it is not dry first, it is dry to the touch after an hour mind you, that there is an incredibly high risk of cracking or damaging the sufface tension that leaves your new paint suspectable all over the surface for damage (more than it would be otherwise) and prone to cracking
