you use enough coats that your happy with the coverage, no set amount. dont smooth it between coats, the paint still needs too be tacky between layers.

while ur painting the paint doesnt have to be tacky to take the next coat of paint. ive seen umpteen nos of painters do it. getting dirt in the basecoat and flatting it out with 100 when its touch dry then blowing over next coat. how do u think that the base coat ends up dirt free but the lacquer doesnt? the lacquer doesnt matter so much about coz it can be flatted after but cant flat thro till the basecoat or itll need relacquered.
