Re: Paint????

Not really. You want the next coat to be on before the first coat has fully cured so it will bond properly. I would not wait more than 24-36 hours. I recommend wet sanding with a Scotch brite pad between coats of the final paint. Don't get too aggressive just lightly to knock down any nubs that might be there. Dry it with a towel and then let it dry for a while. Then wipe her down with some mineral spirts let her dry and then shoot the next coat.

Woodon I have a question I'm on a schedule for completion of boat and weather has not been good. Tomorrow I'm putting on final coat of paint on. My question is can I shorten the 72 hr. time span on putting back on trailer. I will be setting back on not sliding back on trailer.
