I am installing halos and painting my headlight this weekend. I decided on satin black housing and gloss black shrouds and reflector. I am using Krylon Fusion paint. I don't want the housing to be glossy. Will it still keep its near flat look if I clear coat it? I picked up a can of Krylon Fusion clear coat, just not sure if it will make the satin look glossy if I use it. Any advise? I think it would be better to have the UV protection of the clear coat and plan on using it on everything.

I wan to end up with this type of look for the paint.

FYI - Morimoto XB halo are on clearance at retrofit source. A pair of 90mm white halos are $23, 70mm are $17.
