thanks PorchDog, about how much flash time ? 30-45 minutes between coats ?
I plan to 2 coats of SPI Epoxy, then wetsand with 400-600 if required ?
then Base 2 coats then 600 if required by trash,runs whatever ?
then 2-3 coats of SPI clear, and final wet sand with1200-1500 ?

what color ? 2 coats of base is kinda scary to me. if you do 2 coats then sand with 600 i know your going to have problems. i do 3 coats of ss color then sand and do a final coat then clear. i just about always double the flash time . 30 min is normal for me. except for spi clear .

using gray SPI Epoxy with Dupont Base 5563 silver Mist.
I only plan to wet sand the color if I have problems.
I figured if I have to rework the base coat i can respray a color coat on top of it ? thanks, 69VETT
