    Advice on painting hood insert

    Hey guys, I was going to paint my wiper blades this weekend, and figured what the hey, lets do my faded out chipped hood insert while I am at it!

    I searched all the threads i could find on here about painting the right way (wet sand, primer, rustoleum flat black, clear coat) and plan on going that way on the wiper blades. My question is if i do the same on the insert will it look right with the clear coat, or should i stay with just primer and flat black?

    I really would like to match up with the rest of the truck (shiny black) but I don't know if the clear coat will make the insert glare in bright sunlight. I would also like to make this as resistant to chipping and flaking as possible, so if the clear coat helps that let me know!
