Ok guys- one more. I got the first coat of paint laid down and it looks pretty good. So then my question is what now. I need to paint another coat and dont know what the procedure is. Do I need to sand or tack cloth or solvent clean it?
Thanks again guys!
PS- Butch if you ever have questions about grammar send them my way I have a minor in english I think- hahaha

If you used hardener then you can sand and repaint in about 24-48 hours. If you did not use hardener then you can sand and repaint in about 24-48 months.

Well, I am not sure, different materials react in different ways. Hind sight here but you should have added the second coat just after the reducer flashed off from the first one. I have seen troubles with the second coat lifting when people waited for the first coat to dry a day or so before apllying the second. If it were me I would now wait until that first coat can be sanded without gumming up before that second coat is applied. This might be a good spot to use Scotchbright instead of sandpaper. Hopefully some others wil chime in with advise too.
