paint = x ammount of layers

however many it takes to get the colour and cover the primer.

ive painted a peugeot 306 before, a gold one and had to paint about 12 layers of basecoat on it just to cover the primer.

generally, about 2-3 coats is fine.

and laquer is 1 nearly wet coat, then 1 really wet coat and another wet coat if you really want to

anytime.

just dont put the basecoat on wet, your just trying to cover primer and get the colour.

i held up my strips and sprayed the edges first, then lay them flat and gave them a forwards n backwards spray with the aerosol. same with the other 3, did this 3 times for 3 coats of colour.

left em to dry overnight cause it started raining
