When I do it I do it until ive reached full coverage, then one more light coat. Then lay 2 fat coats of clear.

If your gonna primer it and seal it ... Thats how nissans should be done to prevent spider rust... First coat Heavy ... Second coat light fog. With ample lighting you could see any thin areas. Hit a third mist coat if nec. And clear needs to start with a light fog for adhesion then heavy coat let it flash and a slow medium coat for the least amount of peel... thats in a nutshell. If you have never painted a car I dont suggest you try it alone. There are so many varibles to painting a car I or anybody can tell you how to do it over a thread... practice makes perfect shoot test panels over and over again and you will get it
