Thanks for the great comments guys!
I added three coats of clear on this one then cut(wet sanded) and polished it. I used micro mesh polishing sticks 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000, then I rubbed it out meguires polishing coumpounds. I've since gotten Tamiya's three step polishing compounds and have been getting better results. There are some fine scratches in the paint, not perfect, but I was happy with the result at the time.
Here's a pic of the completed chassis.
