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!
