I didnt use any clearcoat, but I'm thinking I should have, just for added protection. I dont know about dulling, if anything it would make them slightly shinier (?). Now that I think about it, they did dull a little, but they still look 100x better than the chrome. I personally like the flat black look, and not the wet paint look.
For cleaning, I just use soap and water, the same soap I use on the rest of the car. I'm afraid off using my chrome rim cleaner, cause I think it'll be to harsh on the paint. I use paper towels to give it a good cleaning, and then just hose them down.

just make sure that when you spray them, the weather is right. Check the can, but I'm pretty sure the reccomend 70-85 degrees with no more than 65% humidity. Too cold and the paint cracks, to humid the paint does weird crap like stick to itself and refuse to go in one certain area...

also, I just laid one rim at a time in the grass and sprayed it in an even pattern. I didnt worry about paint on the sidewalls on the tires, but I made sure I didnt get any on the treads, you know for traction purposes. paint on the sidewalls makes for permanent tire shine! well sort of...
