The panels I just painted I let sit for about two weeks before clear coating them with 6 coats of acrylic enamel clear. I just hand buffed today and dropped one from a box about two feet off the ground and the little scratch that resulted rubbed out with a little mcguires. The bomb can on my yellow has been good for years!!! I always use dupli color from napa.
