This was two days ago so now do I have to lightly sand the color coat then the clear? If so what grit do I use? I'm pretty much a novice in the paint department.
Thanks

600 paper sanding very lightly. If you go thru anywhere you will have to apply more base coat before you clear it. I might also beThis was two days ago so now do I have to lightly sand the color coat then the clear? If so what grit do I use? I'm pretty much a novice in the paint department.

How do people get in these situations??
Don’t you get the info sheets on your paints and read them 3 times over before you start this painting process?
if not you should.
You’ve invested a lot of labor and money to have to start over. WTH?
Is it a metallic?
I can tell you that Limco 4100 clear needs to be shot over 1200 grit if it has to be sanded and Upol clears are 800-1000 grit. I would ASSUME most clears are around that.

Walking away from a paint job is something you just don't do if it can be avoided at all, it may have sounded rude but it's sound advice. I know all about interruptions with a family and 3 kids, I painted my car in the middle of the night to avoid being disturbed... finished at 7:00AMIt's called life I was called away and had to go.

If it were me I'd scuff it with 600 and apply another coat of base to eliminate the chances of anything funky showing up in the paint.
If it's just the engine compartment maybe use a slow drying reducer/hardner so it has time to bite in on the first coat. Or do it on a cold day for the temp reducer that you have. Just spitballing.
You don't want to sand on the metallic base very much if any at all.
