clear flake off is a prep issue...and/or waiting too long before applying
(base set to much)
In matched paint systems, there is zero reason for the clear to separate from
the color base.

I've painted a couple of TR's and I prefer the single stage and then I use
a cocktail of clear in the final coat.
The single stage can still be color sanded if you want a super smooth
finish.
The single stage also more closely duplicates the original enamel in that
when you polish it, in that the color comes off on your rag. A clear coat
has no color of course.
All the new paints are going to give a much brighter finish than the enamel.
I also don't like the way the clearcoat has a tendency to flake off with
age.
