Never used that paint but a friend told me is pretty good, that brings me to a basic problem... did you follow the instructions to paint with this paint?
From what I have read, the paint and the clear uses a hardener, if you dont put that the paint will take longer to dry and wont get as hard as it was designed. When you dont use hardener or you are painting in the wrong temperature specially during the winter (i have painted under the snow) you have trick the paint... play with the mix ratios, heat the paint or even heat the frame a tiny bit so the paint sticks how it should be. My fav one is to heat the paint a few degrees so when you spray it it wont hold air humidity and will dry faster.
The only thing I can think of in your problem is that you applied the clear wrong.

I also was in a time/weather/temperature crunch and rushed the clear coat. I only applied 4 light coats. 10 coats (or fewer heavier coats) might make it more durable. That said, the finish was excellent.
