If this Clearcoat really IS "clear"---that is, has no aluminum "paint" in
it---that should have NO effect on this circuit! I assume you cleaned all the
solder-goop (rosin-flux) off with thinner before you sprayed it?

You could remove it with lacquer thinner, but I doubt this will have ANY
effect! There is summin ELSE afoot, methinks!
