Waited 10 mins and sprayed again... waitied about 30 min and then wet sanded it down with 2000 grit. cleaned em off and then sprayed VHT again. let that sit for about 45 min, then a VERY light coat of acylic enamel clear coat on them, let it sit for about 30 min, then wet sanded again. cleaned em off then a light coat of clear, let it sit for 10 min, then another coat.... i put 4 coats on like this.., at the end i wet sanded again, then used a rubbing compound, then a polish, then a wax.....
