Ok, re-ranch shoreline gold... how long to wait before clearcoat?

[AprioriMark]

So, I refinished a strat body I had sitting around in shoreline gold from re-ranch.  I have the rattle-can clearcoat too, but I'm not sure if I need to let it sit for a few days, a few hours or what.  Re-ranch's site seems almost like it says to do it without much of a wait, but maybe I huffed too many metallic paint fumes.

Experts?  Halp!!!  It's rattle can paint mixed with nitro, and nitro clearcoat.

I have shot clear over that in a very short time less than an hour.  Just go light because if you get a run on gold you cannot sand it out you will have to sand it level and apply another coat of color.

Yeah, so, you know what I did?  I grabbed the wrong can and sprayed mary kaye white over my PERFECT shoreline gold.  I'm almost in tears here.  Hahahaha.  Fkn re-ranch cans saying "with clear nitro" at the bottom.

Damn. Double damn. Double damn with shrapnel on top. Well, maybe we have something that will help. Let's see....

Ah, yes. Prozac. Breakfast of champions! <grin>

See, if you had a proper camera, I would suggest you pitch this idea to Gibson, to see if they would start releasing more pointless, ugly crap in "Mary Kaye white over Shoreline Gold." :blob7:

That should be easy to fix.  Lightly sand it and give it some more gold.

ooooo - now that is a mistake I would make.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the reason why I leave finishing to those who know what the heck they are doing.

I'm going to sand it back and redo gold... when I get more in the mail.

I've had to sand back and re-paint and/or clear because of a lack of patience/experience. But let me tell you, it will be worth it when you're done...

 

[AprioriMark]

I've been fooling with sanding through for a sorta-relic finish, and working on making the clearcoat nice and smooth as glass.  I guess the finishing dieties wanted me to get some more practice.
