No need to do a search, what you stated is correct in as far as the base solvents need time to flash before a secondary clear coat is put on. Since most new cars have one coat of clear already, adding a second really does not do much of anything except raise the price of materials to paint the car. The days of multiple clear coats is gone with the advent of low VOC (violent organic chemicals) paints as used for the last 2-3 years.......
