Can you take your car to a paint shop and just ask for a clear coat?
You can, it depends what you expect in terms of finish quality. You must also consider that there is not much difference in price when it comes to spraying paint and clear coat then clear coat only you still have to sand paint buff the only difference is maybe one or two hours clear coat needs to be removed to apply new clear coat, clear coat also take a great amount of work after drying to achieve oem finish. The answer is yes however having gone that far might as well refresh it unless you just find the clear does not suit your vehicle but that is unlikely.

Can you paint gloss over matte?
Always prime first and make sure to key (sand) all surfaces, whether you are priming or not that is VERY important.The rule is: You cannot use water base paints over oil base paint. You may if you prime first. If your matte and your gloss are both water based, you may use the matte. When in doubt, please prime first.AnswerBeing in the painting business for nearly 10 years, the key factor to painting waterbase paint (in any sheen) over oil base paint is to sand, sand, and sand again. A regular primer will not add any adhesion to the surface - you need a high adhesion primer that is either oil or shellac base first, or a waterbase that is made specifically to grip to oil. Of course, I would skip this step entirely simply by sanding thoroughly - and using a waterbase topcoat that is good quality. Ideally you should use a paint that is made to stick to oil, such as General Paint's HP2000 or Dulux Diamond. But priming with a regular waterbase primer will not help to solve this problem and will be a waste of your time and money.
Iam going to do my first paint job on my truck using a 2 stage paint.How long do I have to wait after I shoot the last coat of clear before i can color sand and cut and buff it.?
theres no sanding when u do a 2 stage paint job,and ull have to wait about 2weeks tobuff the car if it was not baked under heat lamps u only bake if enamel modern paint does not require bake next question asked how long to wait after last clear coat before you color PAY ATTENTION the color coat goes on before the clear coat the clear coat is to protect and fill in any bumps in paint such as metal flake paint bottom line if you clear coat first ,you are wasting your money an your time you do not sand between color coat and clear coat sanding will take away the proper effect clear coat is to finish paint properly

Can you put clear coat over krylon fusion paint?
Yes You Can, This info came directly from Krylon about clear coating their Fusion Paint. Thank you for your inquiry with Krylon. While the Fusion is a hard, protective, durable finish on its own, the film is not impervious. Keep in mind, Fusion is still a paint coating and can be nicked, scratched, or damaged. Consistent friction or direct pressure with a sharp object will damage the film. Please allow the last coat of Fusion to dry for 7-10 days to reach the film's maximum hardness and cure time. If you would like to add a sacrificial clear coating over the Fusion, I would suggest using the Krylon Low Odor Clear Finish or the Minwax Polycrylic. Both of these clear coatings may be applied to a fully cured Fusion paint film. Please allow the last coat of Fusion to dry for at least 7-10 days before top coating. NOTE: Technically you are applying a clear finish that will take the brunt of daily wear and tear before the underlying paint film. The clear finish will not be any easier to touch up and recoat then just applying an additional coat of the Fusion paint. This is the reason we do not offer a clear finish in the Fusion Line. The clear finish will not be any more durable than the Fusion paint film; but may not show the wear as quickly because of the transparent nature of clear films.
