between coats, or the booth?
Cleared 2 of the four. Three coats, after they cure I'll wetsand, then lay another coat. It's too hot outside right now to finish the other two.
And, I think I'm going to do the final coat of clear in a booth or in my parent's garage... It's entirely too contaminate prone out here.

i paint all sorts of stuff on my porch. drives amy crazy upstairs 
Ok, wtf. I can't seem to get a decent clear coat laid. It never seems like it's thick enough when I spray it. I put a whole can on the face of one wheel, 30 minutes between coats, 6 coats.
The other wheels are the same way. Should I plan on wet sanding every wheel, then laying a wet coat?

rattlecan.
I don't have a compressor or a gun.
When I lay this particular clear thick, it changes color to a milky-white. Odly enough, after that section dries it's perfect finish. I might have to just lay a whole can per wheel.
You can strip in the humid and in the rain. Just put the airplane stripper on pretty thick if it's raining.
i know. i just dont feel like standing out in the rain lol
and when i painted one of them, my 500*F clearcoat turned milky too, finished clear. when i painted some wheels a LONG time ago, the wheels would turn milky again when raining, hope that doesnt happen again...
