Hello Everyone,
I'm painting my 83 Starcraft per Woodonglass' method outlined in another topic. I used Tractor Supply's Majic paint with hardener and reducer, and have a couple questions. I mixed more than I needed for the first coat, so I covered the leftover paint and let it set covered overnight. Can I use that paint for the second coat, or do I need to mix another batch? Also, how long should I let the first coat dry before I sand and paint the second coat?

if you added the hardener, you have 8 hours to use it.

I personally only wait about 2 hours before applying a second coat.

Yeah, Scott's absolutely correct. the paint is NO GOOD after 8 hours. Make a new Batch. Depending on temps, recoat in 2-4 hours
