It is. The trick is to obey the manufacturer's recommendations for recoat times. You either have to hit it with the clear within X number of hours, or else let the color coat(s) cure for Y days before respraying with clear.
I generally find that it's best to lay down every coat (primer or adhesion promoter, then color, then clear) in one short effort, but folks with more experience than I may have better suggestions.
Read the paint can for more info, and try to stick with the same manufacturer for primer/color/clear throughout the process.
