killemall8 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Look in the "finish and inlays" chat. Its been asked a million times. People get tired of giving people who dont search a step by step tutorial every time the post. REad teh directions on your cans. That will tell how how long between coats and between clear. The number of coats you will get depends on how heavy you spray them. You only need to spray enough to where you dotn sand thru... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 While Killemall comes off rather harsh, he is very correct. Use the search function and it will answer all of your questions. Also read through the tutorials section. An even better wealth of knowledge for your specific project is the forum over at ReRanch. Guaranteed they have covered it over there.
