I put about 6 coats with 5 minute intervals between each one. Also it's really important to start the first coat VERY light, otherwise it wont come out smooth and glossy. When I say light I mean like a few speckles of the paint on the wheel, then do 3 super light passes like this, that counts as the first coat. Then wait 1 hour, and apply the first coat of clearcoat. Apply 3 heavy coats of clearcoat with 10 minute intervals.
