I painted a bat using the same type of paint and didnt see any wear after quite sometime. this was rolling around in my trunk and back seat for quite sometime, along with other stuff banging up against it.

given, that a bat is wood and has a more pourous surface to absorbe the paint, but even the clear didnt die out.

I did however manage to take the paint right off when i tried to use the bat as a 2x4 under the wheels of the lex when it was stuck in the mud.

Yup, same paint I used, except I did about 8 coats to get it smooth, plus 2 more coats of clear after applying the stickers.

Almost 6 months now and still shiny.
