Usually, all the paint goes on in one go...so each coat sticks to the last coat.
(2-pack) I remember, for custom jobs, that with acrylics the colour coat was allowed to dry overnight and sanded smooth to apply the clear coats later. ( acrylic dries to touch fairly fast but the solvents can take up to 30 days to fully evaporate) So if the paint is acrylic lacquer the time difference between coats is a little longer...as long as the painters' clean up and respray techniques are up to the mark there shouldn't be a problem.....Good luck. The paint looks good so far !
