That would be my suggestion as well, it should also stop issues of the paint
being attacked by the brass as well.

Can you protect the Hammerite by masking? It is only the bare brass you
need to clear coat.

Or clear coat everything first, let dry completely, then add the
Hammerite.

It's probably the "faster" solvents in the clearcoat that attack the
Hammerite,
and those will dry off.
