Very, VERY, nice work! Yeah, 40 hours sounds about right.



Whatever the painter told you about shooting only 2 coats is BS. It is a general

rule of thumb to shoot 3 coats if any amount of sanding is going to be done.

This is true for all the clears I've used and heard about; this should be obvious.

Most products shops only shoot 2 coats of a high solids clear, basically to save

time. I've been telling folks getting stuff painted to ask for 3 coats; pay a little

extra if needed.



However, every painter is different. Even with the same clear and conditions,

one guy's 2 coats can be similar to another guys 3 coats...



And with all the sanding/polishing done, I'm pretty sure there isn't adequate

amount of clear film now. At a minimum, there should be 2 mils of it. I don't have

a paint thickness gauge, but i do know the approximate build per coat of the

clear I'm using (slightly over 1 mil per coat of a 52% solids clear)...



She's lucky, she has you to maintain it! That can be all the difference for

durability...
