You should allow it to flash off. That means you should wait for the clear coat to start to dry, but not wait until it dries when you put on another coat. Flashing off means that the flash (or shinyness) starts to kick off. That's when you should put another coat. The reason is if you keep putting more and more coats over wet paint, it will never dry and you'll have a big glob of clear on the interior. The reason you don't wait for it to dry is because most clears lose the ability to chemically bond with another coat once it's dry. But if you do decide to wait until it dry's before adding more coats, wetsand each time before the next coat. Wet-sanding opens up the chemical bonding stuff again.

does this apply to when i put the first coat of clear on the pieces after i color them?
