Clear coating green horn !!

[SteveB]

I would a 3rd coat , just to make sure you have enough clear on it. I have no experience in the clear coat you are using.

Something pretty strange about the clear coat .
After dried for 24 hours that orange peel is gone
And I never wet sanded it. It's pretty crazy it must of shrunk or the solvents escaped or something.. so I'm going to mount the 2 and just polish . But I think your right about 3rd coat would be great idea . As its super hard to tell how thick clear coat is ..

On the U-Pol you have to do all the coats within a certain amount of time, I’m thinking within 30 minutes of each other. Not sure about that stuff you’re using.

Nailed it .. need couple more passes of wet sanding for perfect . Im not saying time I spent . But I did learn better quality paint is first thing I will do different . Rust-Oleum there is good and bad cans old and alot of mystery . I had one good can of black gloss those 2 rims look perfect other 2 I had to wet sand like 3 times paint never cured properly.

Looks like a Jersey rim!

Shit that rim is pretty good, I've seen way worse. Must not have seen much gravel.
Most clears tend to melt together as they dry.

Well there is 2 good coats of sandable primer filler .
Both coats wet sanded ..first and second coat. It's amazing if you want to build up so you can get to mirror finish you need to do alot of wet sanding with 2000 grit I say I will need to sand 1/2 off the second coat of clear to get there . [emoji849][emoji3][emoji15][emoji106]
