No it will cause big problems. You should sand down to paint before adding a new coat of clearcoat
Answer: There is nothing wrong with putting a new coat of clear over old, as long as it is well sanded , and the underlying clearcoat is in sound condition. It is necessary to do it when spot- repairing a clear -over- base metallic paintjob.

∙ 13y agoI recently put several coats of lacquer clear over enamel paint on my wheels before I learned that lacquer on top of enamel will damage the paint. So far the paint looks fine, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. You could, but you will damage the enamel auto paint.

∙ 14y agoYes, you can paint over a clear coat. The clear coat is essentially the same thing as the paint, but without the additives that give paint color. The preparation work is the same as for making a painted surface without clear coat ready for painting.

∙ 10y agoWhen painting with enamel the surface must first be prepared to become receptive to the paint. the surface can be etched with a mild acid or roughed up with abrasion. A urethane base coat will not accept acrylic without this preparatory step.
