IMPORTANT: Do wait till one coat dries, before applying the next. Also, don't mess up the car, remove the wheel from the car for painting.
Cheers.
I know virtually nothing about auto-painting. What do you mean by "feather"?

And also, The touch up paint bottle (w/brush) that my NISSAN dealer sold me is not meant to be applied with any extra clear-coat.. (so I'm told)

You mentioned laquer, what types would be safe to use and where could I get it?

The one thing I DO know (to back up what's already been said) is that yes, companies like NISSAN and other Japanese companies standardize their paints across platforms. The pain on your bumper is the paint on your rims is the paint on your hood.

Which Really makes it easier for everyone.

Thanks for any help.
