Now I'm going to have to do some research, but I have always followed the no-more-than-25 minute rule for clear. Basically let if flash and lay down your clear, maintaining a wet edge. Painter friends/family taught me it, both learned it from their dad's from back in the "good paint" days. No idea if it holds true now. Maybe a good question for this guy? https://www.youtube.com/user/nexson

PBCrunch posted:So... in the boat I'm in, scuff it up, spray another base coat, then immediately go to clear? Some quick search results on several paint forums gives mixed feedback. The general recommendation is scuff, base, clear for best results. In a home use case, I would agree - otherwise you have no idea what contamination has happened in the last ~week. I did find it interesting at with older paint, manufactures specified "booth time" - as long as it never left the booth, you had weeks between top and base coat. The theory appeared to be that as collision work (insurance) started bumping jobs based on payout, half completed jobs would be pulled from the booth - causing fading, adhesion, contamination. So manufactures changed the recommendation. Get it as clean as possible once, base, clear, and set.

I know this is of little value - but I'm really enjoying watching the progress of this and the investment (time/money/passion) you're putting into it.
