New to the group and a question.

Hello all, new to the group and hope I can be an asset.

I do have a question. I just painted a 1966 Fairlane with MCW lacquer.

I wish to add a clear coat, but I need to wet sand first. Is there a time period that you can put the clear on.

I know when using Tamiya ts paint, the color needs to cure for a week because of the different formula of their clear.

I will be sanding tomorrow (24 hours after color) Can I clear it then?

Welcome to the forum. I'm just seeing this. The question would have been better asked in the Model Q&A.
What did you wind up doing?
Typically Laquer doesn't take that long to cure. I've cleared MCW laquer after a couple of days.
