My metallic silver '74 2.0 was repainted back in the mid 80's because of supposed clear coat failure. Was this common back in the day.....if so, why.....what caused the paint to fail?

We bought our silver 1971 914 in 1973. It was stunning. One year later, the clear started to fail on all of the horizontal surfaces. I stripped and repainted it in 1977 with base coat and clear as original. Mercedes from the same era suffered from the same clear coat failure.
