[QUOTE="OldWrench, post: 2656, member: 232"] When you are shooting base coat you do want to then shoot your clear coat within the time frame the recommended. Depending on the paint you are using that time window will change. It also changes with the ambient temperature and the speed of the reducer you use. In colder climates you use a faster reducer and in warmer a slower. I have heard the same argument regarding time for shooting the clear coat. I believe that came from the problems that GM was having with there clear coat peeling on so many of their cars. If that was the case you couldn’t shoot new clear coat over old base coat and I know it is done with great regularity in some of the shops. PPC, Dupont, and Sherman Williams will all tell you not to shoot clear coat over old base coat. At least I believe that is what they are still saying. I understand their argument because in most cases you do not know who produced the base coat that you are wanting to cover with clear coat. My argument is this, the clear coat has it’s own ability to adhere to the surface it is put on. Now the next question is how long will it last or can it eventually separate and I just don’t have an answer for that. That is why I personally don’t shoot clear over old base. Since you do have a gun and compressor I strongly recommend using it to shoot your clear coat. [/QUOTE]
