If you used an adhesion promoter like bulldog or something it will help it from cracking.. but then the issue is expansion.. the reason vht works so well is its a high heat paint and has a flex additive in it.. like motorcycle paint (should) have... this helps the paint expand and contract and prevents cracking after installation..

You can just use bulldog and do it again and do light coats in a temp controlled area.. and you should be fine.. but if you want it perfect and want it to last.. go to body shop and get the color mixed with a nice HOK kandy with flex additives in it.. including youre clear. .(although you really dont have to second clear and hok kandy)
