Newbie: Help with clearcoat

[donraye]

Hi all I am new to this forum and I have done a dumb thing in a repair I am making on my AC/Cobra replica fender.
I had a spot repair where the damage was throught the color and clear coats. I did the repair/fill and it looks good, and then did the high solids urethane color coats and feathered them in so it all looked very nice.
Then when I was ready to shoot the catalized clearcoat I realized that I did not have the correct clearcoat for the paint and the one I had was NOT a catalized clearcoat and not up to OEM standard for hardness or chemical resisteance, etc. So now I have the correct clear coming but will not have it in hand until Friday. I painted the color yesterday (Monday).
What do I now have to do to make the clear adhere properly to the color coat as the correct time window is now gone for the proper application?
Can I just wetsand or 3M pad the color coats I applied yesterday and spray one more thin wet color coat on just before applying the clearcoat (after I have it in hand!)? Or do I need to do more?

was the color you shot a basecoat or a single stage urethane color? If it was basecoat you will have to scuff it and spray another coat of color on before you clear it. If you used single stage urethane, you can just scuff it up and clear directly over that. Good luck

It was a base coat/clear coat system. It is a solid color (Shelby "Grabber Orange").
Thanks for the advice!

I would lightly scuff the base, apply an additional light coat of base then hit it with the correct clear.
