It sounds like the clear is being applied too wet and heavily, and that it is dissolving the paint under it. When this happens, the paint softens/reliquifies and the metallic bits that had gone down nice and even move about in random ways- changing the appearance of the paint in random patches. You cannot spray lacquer clear in heavy, wet coats- especially not over metallics or decals. It must be applied in many light coats, with an our or two between coats. Otherwise it will dissolve whatever it is being sprayed over.
