Can you paint wet on wet with acrylic paint?
If you are trying for total coverage it's wise to let the first coat dry completely. If you are intending to do the true 'wet on wet' artist's technique where the bottom layer is still totally mobile then you have to approach it a little differently than the oil painting technique. Acrylic paint drys very quickly compared to oil so you have to work very quickly, use thicker layers of paint and use a water mist spray to avoid premature drying; this can be quite difficult. Alternatively use an acrylic retarder added to the paint and this will slow the drying of the acrylic paint. Be careful though too much retarder will virtually stop the paint drying at all. Acrylic retarders are available for most brands of artists acrylic paint usually where they sell the paint. It is best to buy the same brand as the paint to avoid incompatibility.

How do you operate a bus downhill by retarder?
Usually busses do not have retarders because they are too loud and cannot be used inside most city limits on a semi truck they have a switch to turn on the jake brake (engine brake, or retarder) when the switch is on and you let the accelerator all the way up the brake takes over. All a retarder does is use your air brakes (or hydraulic) less to prevent overheating that will lead to brake loss.
