[QUOTE="65x2, post: 13990131, member: 67019"] You spray your base till coverage is achieved. There isn't a set amount. Some colors cover in 2-3 coats while others take 10+. Also depends on the manufacturer of paint. I under reduce my whites to achieve coverage. As far as clear 2-3 coats is what I've always done. But that's subjective as well, you could have two wet coats vs one dry coat and a second wet coat. I've seen some guys that brag about their one coat clear coverage. No thank you. Give me two to three wet coats so I have something to buff afterwards. From the factory, I've seen (mainly Chryslers) with up to 4 paint jobs. Its like they paint it and there was a defect so they run it right back through. I saw this recently on a 2k mile RAM. I'd have been livid had it been my truck. I don't know what state you live in, but if your state isn't EPA crazy and requiring the use of waterborne paint I'd look for a shop that uses water. The base just lays down so much nicer than solvent and the colors seem to match better. [/QUOTE]
