[Rot 911]

Once the base coat is on (which dries to a semi dull finish) it is time for the clear coat. I did not sand the base coat as there was no appreciable dust and no bugs in the paint. The base coat flashed off in about 5 minutes to the touch, but I waited 20 minutes before applying the clear coat. While the clear coat dries nice and shiny, I have a fair amount of orange peel to sand out. I think what happened was as the morning progressed the wind came up and the paint was drying to quickly. I should have quit for the day, but you know how things go when the urge to paint comes up!
