<p>There are additaves you can add to clear to tone down the shine. When I did paint work on autos, we would jam out the undersides of hoods, deck lids, doors ect. using the base color with a little clear coat activator mixed in. The activator is what makes the clear dry hard, otherwise it stays tacky. Doing this provided protection for the base color and also gave the part a semi-gloss look. But being that a cab will be outside and exposed to everything I would talk to a local auto paint dealer and see what they have to offer. I have been out of the paint and body business for a few years so I don't know what new products may have come along. </p>
