So I got a front 06-08 hemi sport lip (like the Rumble Bee/Daytona style) and I'm painting it to match my truck as the lip was blue when I got it and my truck is Flame Red.
I'm using Duplicolor Paint Match Primer, Duplicolor Paint Match Pr4 Flame Red and Duplicolor Paint Match Clear Coat.
I sanded it with 400 grit, then 1500 grit and it's super smooth. Washed it with soap and water, then I layed down a light coat of primer followed by a heavy coat of primer.
My question is, once i lay down the paint color, should I wait 15-30 minutes before spraying the clear coat or can I immediately spray my first coat of clear, over the last coat of color paint, while the color paint is still wet?
I've heard of people spraying clearcoat over a thick heavy wet coat of paint, but that was with plastidip, so I'm unsure if I can do this with normal paint.
