Base clear paint question

You will want to put some clear over the base that you dab up. Reason being is the base will be flat and appear a totally different color. You can go online or to a parts store and get little bottles with a brush in them that do not require you to be a jr chemist. Simply apply it like nail polish over the base color. The pictures below illustrate what I mean...granted one is in the sun but you can see the difference.
