Single pack acrylic lacquer is junk on anything that moves.

I'm afraid the correct solution is to use a 2k catalysed clearcoat with a plasticise added.

Maybe ask at your local body shop if they could do the racket when they are doing a car repair, it would take them about 2 minutes and the dregs of the clearcoat from the job they were doing. Beer money should so it if they are a nice bunch.

As above. 2k with a flex additive and adhesion promotor is what you need. You anywhere near Macclesfield?
