I haven't shot the clear yet....is there anything I can do to dull them down a bit? Apparently the nature of the clear coat itself does that somewhat anyway. Just wondered if there was anything else I can do here, and keep control over it.

Longer cure? Hotter cure?
Clear them and that will resolve the issue. Once cleared they will dull ( Chrome shine removed)..
