Not a spray can, I mean the urethane clear that comes in a can that I must pour into the paint gun...lol. But either way you answered my question. Thank you!

trust me if you finish it with 2000 grit sand paper you will not see any scratches! Just when your sanding make sure you dont get a grain of sand under you paper! Keep it with nice 2000 grit find sand scratches an you will be fine i wouldnt lie to you! You can also do the same if you want to smoke your lights just add some straight black base paint in you clear! That will make a see through black! Just dont add two much black paint or it will be real dark! Just add a few drops at a time till you like the shade of smoke tint and spray the light!

I'll be about a week or two when I get my front lip so that I can paint/clear both at once. I'll post pics then.

I did actually, but the spray gun had metal flakes from it's previous use ( I cleaned the hell out of it, but I guess those sucks are like a disease ) and it showed through. I ended up just buying new 06-07 headlights.
