When spraying 2 part clear coat,{the stuff I use, made by DuPont} The directions call for only about 10 minutes between coats. To eliminate drips , but still get a chemical bond. No sanding between coats this way. I suspect that this would be a longer window when rolling or brushing. 2 hour pot life....drips could be an issue. Spraying the atomized clear coat it dries beyond drip stage quicker. Multiple thin coats are better that less coats, but thicker.{YMMV} I've never rolled it or brushed it , but this looks good.

Best Wishes
Roy
