Default VHT Nightshade Tail light question

So I basically followed this guys guide
http://www.f150online.com/forums/art...il-lights.html

They turned out pretty darn good...although I noticed that there are little circles on the plastic in certain spots, we sanded down the spots where the circles were and tried to get completely rid of them but it is really tough...they still look really good...I am going to try and find a autobody shop who will clearcoat them for me for cheap...question is should I continue to try and get the little circles and imperfections out or just take them to get them clearcoated already?

If i cant find a place that will do it cheap I will...however I hear that the clear coat in a can can peel off easy when washing your truck..id rather have a good body shop professionally do it

yea I will just clear coat them myself...I have called several body shops and they said if I already blacked them out they dont want to touch them, because the clear coat may or may not stick or react...so guess I will do it by my self...any suggestions on what clearcoat to use?

This is the clear coat I used. It has held up really well. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SHW-MP300/
