When painting with Rustoleum what is the proper drying time between coats and the final drying time when applying the clear?
Its been surprisingly difficult to find this info especially when to apply the clear. One could assume the clear is "jut another coat" and apply it the same way you did when spraying the color.

Allow a few minutes between coats ,and the same with clear coat , if you were painting with an epoxy paint you would need to wait at least a half hour to apply clear. Rustoleum is not an epoxy paint. The can should give some directions .

I used to use rustolium all the time and found the Krylon paint & primer together and its alot better than rustolium its alot shineyer and goeson better but you can apply coats in about 10 minutes and the clear about the same

rustoleum is a slow drying paint, adding another coat you may need to wait a hour or longer, perhaps multiple hours. Drying speed would change with temperature and humidity. I have never painted a scooter with it but know that there are those that like it for painting vehicles with, mostly due to the price of it in the gallon cans over the price of your normal automotive paint.
Your clear coat well as long as it is a paint the is compatible with the rustoleum I'd say whenever you can hit the paint with some sand paper to rough it up for the clear. Possibly even a day after the paint is on.

You dont need to wait an hour between coats ,and as long as you keep the paint wet you can continue painting till complete . The drying time is controlled by the type of reducer used in the paint ,in cold weather you want it to drie faster to avoid runs , and it warm you want to paint to dry slow so it flows to get a shine . I wouldnt advise mixing brands of paint might not be compatable . i have been painting autos,boats RVs for over 35 yrs so i do know a little about paint .

I have had some pain looking very nice and then put just too much on and caused a sagging run, heartbreaking. |
