Need a bit of help, on the 205 I want to do the moldings in matt. Can I do this over the clear coat, after I've painted it? or do i have to mask the kit off?

yeah clear coat everything before you start masking it mate
ive learnt the hard way that masking paint that isnt clear coated can make it peel when your done, if its cleared its a smoother surface so its got nothing to cling onto and pull off, plus you get a better edge
