Personally I wouldnt apply any clear over a rough surface like that. I'd find a reducer or acetone that won't damage the plastice lense and start over. Getting rattle cans like VHT (VHT comes in spray paint right?) to paint nicely takes some practice. To me it looks like you might have sprayed too fast and or too far from the lenses.
