For what its worth...
I used 1.2mm
brushed aluminum for sides and rear tub. It looks fantastic and to keep the appearances up and to prevent dust settling in the "brushed" grooves, I sprayed the rear tub with 2 pack clear coat. Looked even more fabulous with the sheen over the brushed surface, but when I pulled off a piece of masking tape, the clear coat came off
I pulled this off in a big plastic sheet...
I did clean the surface with thinners before I applied the clearcoat. Perhaps I missed something or clearcoat have different adhesive properties than 2 pack paints since a lot of guys paint the panels
