What clear are you gonna use, and how long do you wait to apply a clear over the TS paint ?
(I'm trying to gather information to improve my builds)

Actually, the model has been painted and I have used MR Hobby Super Clear.
Pictures will be posted in my next post.
BUT.... You have to be very careful using MR Hobby Super Clear.
It has strong solvent and it could DAMAGE sufrace (base color) and for sure will damage decals/slide marks if applied over them.
It cannot be used over water-based, enamel (oil) hobby colors .
You can use it on Tamiya Spray paint - but coats should be rather thin than thick.
Here you have additional informations ->

So - in my opinion - you should use Mr Hobby
Top Coat - it should best solution for fast, good result. Or some Clear form Zero Paints etc...
You can also use TS-13 - but it has similar cons like Super Clear (it will damage decals, etc..)
I have used Super Clear because I wanted to test it. And for this model and used base (TS-53) it was a good choice. Clear gave a deeper color, high gloss and hard sufrace.
I was waiting about two weeks - because I did not have enouhgt time for modeling.
This is my test bottle - you can see SUPER CLEAR over TS-53.
It is veeery clear and veeery gloss (almost like the mirror).
