The clear coat that I have (which is the same stuff as the recommended white
paint
but without pigmentation) has cracked in a few places over the 'glass' and
in a couple of other high-flex areas over composite.
Was advised at the time not to plasticise the clear coat, but wish I had. The
'cracks'
over the glass are of no consequence and don't bother me.
