Hey boats are you talking about your gloss...I always just paint and paint..only takes about 5-6 hours to paint a repo steelhead..Its the first scaling process to me that takes a little long.....

Either way Laquer dries pretty fast...and i clean my brush between every color, so the time between colors gives me enough dry time between coats....And as long as you littely coat the fish with clear at the end and wait 10-15 minutes, then heavy, you should be safe...I actually gloss 2-3 times with my last gloss coat coming from an extreme upward front to back angle...

Your question was kind of vague so i covered individual color and gloss...But hopefully I should have answered your question...I like fish alot, my favorite of everything to mount or recreate......Have fun man! and if you have anymore question you have my Info..PM me or email me...
