I typically shoot lacquers as all my base, color and, clear coats and 8 or 9 clear coats is not unusual....but I like enough clear for polishing...as I normally get
some peel but the end result is worth it! With duplacolor if you mist it evenly I can get a pretty good surface and 5 or 6 hours in the cooker and its shrunken down and ready to polish. Then I foil mine and if I want to seal the foil, I brush on some future.On my '34 PU build I forgot to clear the grill.......so with lights and the grill mounted............I futured the grill 4 coats in 2 days..and you can't see the diff!!!!!! Future seems to seal better than more lacquer..........Good Luck!!!!!
