Clear coat is applied over a base color for the gloss
with your hands!
The recommended time between applying a base coat and a clear coat typically ranges from 30 minutes to 24 hours, depending on the specific paint system and environmental conditions. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines, as factors like temperature and humidity can affect drying times. Generally, if you wait too long, you may need to scuff the base coat to ensure proper adhesion of the clear coat. Always ensure the base coat is fully cured before applying the clear coat for the best results.
Yeah but it wont be as shiny...
sure, it is called bace coat/clear coat system and they have been doing it since 1986 ish. Spray your bace till covered let it dry tack cloth the finish then spray your clear, follow directions on can I think the question is whether or not to mix the base coat WITH the clear before applying. It will defeat the purpose of the clear coat as a UV protectant to the base coat. You can do it but I certainly would not recommend it.
If it is single stage paint then no if base coat then yes....
You should typically wait about 20 to 30 minutes after applying the base coat before spraying clear coat, but this can vary depending on the specific paint products being used and the environmental conditions. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the ideal waiting time. Ensure the base coat is dry to the touch but not fully cured, as this allows for better adhesion of the clear coat.
If there are scratches on the surface before you clear coat, the clear will not come out smooth. If you are spraying new clear coat over an old clear coat, the entire surface must be wet sanded with at least a 600 grit wet/dry paper so the surface is rough enough to accept the clear. If you are spraying new clear over an new base coat, the same techinque for prepping the surface will be necessary if the base coat has dried.
Usually there is a base coat of a solid colour, a coat of the chameleon paint, and then a clear coat

You can, it depends what you expect in terms of finish quality. You must also consider that there is not much difference in price when it comes to spraying paint and clear coat then clear coat only you still have to sand paint buff the only difference is maybe one or two hours clear coat needs to be removed to apply new clear coat, clear coat also take a great amount of work after drying to achieve oem finish. The answer is yes however having gone that far might as well refresh it unless you just find the clear does not suit your vehicle but that is unlikely.
