This question will prove how new I am to this stuff!

I'm just getting into custom painting as a hobby. My question is, when working with a basecoat/clearcoat system I have found the clearcoat must be applied over the basecoat within a certain timeframe. Let's say I've gotten very good at this (like in another forty years) and I have a very intricate layout that I just can't lay out in a day or two. How the heck do I get around the "24 hour rule." I'm not very artistic and I usually end up airbrushing over my airbrushing before I'm happy with it. I'm stumped!

apply your base then clear let clear dry then wet sand then lay your artwork then clear again

Thanks Tooter. I thought that might work. I'll try it out.
