Tend to do a few thin coats then back with white then final coat of clear lacquer
I do exactly the same but I dry the bodyshell with a high quality kitchen towel the ones that don’t leave any white bits, then a final wipe out with a fresh piece of kitchen towel dampened with methylated spirit to completely degrease the bodyshell, I’ve never had any paint flake off doing this process
