No. Plasidip is good on it's own. A clear coat wouldn't stick very well anyway as the Plastidip is a rubber material.

Remember, the blackout tint for the tailightgs greatly reduces your visibility, especially at night and I believe it's illegal in all 50 states as well. Proceed at your own risk. I like the look, but for me, safety (keeping myself as visible to bozos behind me) and avoiding the long arm of the law trump the looks.
