Help with painting T-tops

The paint around the metal edge of my T-tops was starting to look ugly, so I repainted it using Krylon interior/exterior glossy black paint and a few coats of Krylon interior/exterior clear. It looked real nice once I finished, but once I put my T-tops in the bag and took them out, the paint is all scraped and looks like crap. Is there a special kind of paint that I should use, something a little "stronger?"

Mark, I did spray clear coat on them (Krylon interior/exterior). I think that's what was getting messed up once I put it in the T-top bag.

TFM4th, I'll try what you suggested. Thanks!
