Do you mean how many layers... ? I was painting aircraft components so as few coats as were needed, typically 3 and a thin primer. On cars, there can be many more... about 32 is the most I've seen on a production car... (OK that was a pretty special Buggatti...)time for testing how much finish coat 3 hands? or more
Often 3 layers of clear seems a good bench mark. The first coat should be pretty light and is called a “dust coat”. The second can be a little more wet and the third wetter again. Pay close attention to the manufactures recommendation for flash times, mix ratios and spray pressure. Other than that it’s only everything else everybody has said LOL. But like anything, it gets easier with practice. Good luck.yes i mean layers, sorry on my bad english
ok thanks guys i go try and see whats happens

It really depends on the paint. For example a basic enamel, 3 layers is normal, same with a 2 pack. With an acrylic it is more like 6 to 12. For show quality there can be a lot more clear over top again. Here is an interesting video on detailing a Bugatti.Often 3 layers of clear seems a good bench mark.

Cool, I’ll give that a watch. Thanks Mark.It really depends on the paint. For example a basic enamel, 3 layers is normal, same with a 2 pack. With an acrylic it is more like 6 to 12.

This looks nice thanks for shareI get a mirror finish by applying 4 coats of Automotive single pac clear. Correct drying time between coats. When hard. I cut back with 1200 wet and dry with a few drops of detergent in the water. Followed by 1500 then 2000. When the surface is 100% matt finish the hard work starts. Cut and polish compound by hand then a wax polish to finish off. Great results. I can`t spray 2pac in my residential area. Hope every thing works out for you.
