Possible. And typically peeling happens if the prep work wasn't perfect?

I wetsanded at 400 grit. Cleaned with thinner and denatured alcohol. Then sprayed primer and now paint

prep work definitely helps keep the paint from peeling, but a clear coat is like a protectant as well. think of it as laminating a piece of paper. It will help hold the paint down. clear coat will also help prevent rocks from chipping the paint.
