So, I'm a total noob with anything paint related. I've always used tung oil in the past to finish my projects.
This time around I opted for white paint with a matt clear coat. all automotive Acrylic Enamel from Dupont. Also used DuPont sandable primer in grey.
So far I've laid down a couple coats of primer followed by 3 coats of white Acrylic Enamel. wet sanded everything flat. 2 more coats of white. touched up 2 spots. at that point I couldn't see any primer so I figured the white was thick enough. laid down 2 coats of matt clear.
My question is... is 2 coats of clear enough? it looks great... absolutely EXACLY how I want it to look... being a noob... I'm particularly tempted to say "that's perfect" and leave it at 2 coats of clear.... as I'm liable to botch it trying to lay down more clear.... but I'm not sure if 2 coats is enough?
help?
