thats up to you.....
if you dont think you will be changing them any tome soon, i would put them under the clear coat. that way its all nice and shiny all the time.
if you think you will get board of them and want to change up the color or something of that nature, i would put them after i applied the clear coat.

dry sanding will work fine. Usually - as far as I know, and the way ive been doing it/ was taught- was to wet sand in between coats if necessary. Usually its only necessary when you let a coat of paint or clear dry. Basically scuff your surface with any where from 220ish to 600 grit, prime it and let it dry completely. then wet sand with 400-600 and lay your color down. in between coats let the paint tack up for about 10-20 minutes depending on how wet the last coat was. your last coat of color let it tack for a little longer like 20-30min then spray clear. That way you dont have to wait for the paint to dry and wet sand again.
