Don't see a big difference other than the fact it won't lift.

I tried clear coating a while back, but if you polish your model, it is so easy to rub through on parts like the drip rail,.
which is usually where you have the BMF, when this happens, you will get a different finish where the foil is exposed compared to the parts that are clear coated.
Each to their own, but it looks more realistic if put on last.
