Default When to apply clear coat?

I'm reprinting my engine bay. I have it primered up and am ready to paint. When after painting do I put my clear coat on? Is there a certain amount of time I should wait?

Thanks

Jordan

After your base flashes and turns a flat color. Then your ready for clear.

Check with the manufacturers tech sheet...Let it flash...Normally about 20-30 minutes after your last coat of color...Don't wait too long to clear...I don't know what paint you're spraying but, DuPont Chromabase has to be scuffed and re-coated after 24 hours...Sooner the better...If you have any more questions, I'm more than willing to help...I'm a DuPont paint rep/tech...I'll help ya best I can...
