When exactly should a clear coat be added when painting a model car? For example, I just finished putting down multiple coats of Tamiya red metallic lacquer on a Revell Corvette. In between coats, I sanded out the paint. My final coat is near perfect, but there is a very subtle bit of "orange peel". Do I sand this final coat and then clear coat or clear coat and then do a final sanding?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
