I think we're all overdoing it with the clear coat layers

Lately I see guys putting on four or five coats of clear, especially on custom jobs. I've been doing this for 12 years and I think that's way too much. I did a test panel last month, two coats versus four, and after baking them both, the four-coat panel took almost twice as long to fully cure and was way more likely to run. A good two medium-wet coats, sanded and buffed right, will last just as long and is easier to work with. Has anyone else cut back and seen better results?

It's like everything now, more is seen as better even when it just makes things worse.

Just look at my phone with its 800 apps.
