Then I figure I will clearcoat it five minutes after the last coat of red. I am planning to do light coats of clear also. Does this all sound correct?
Thanks for all the help,

Yep, sounds like a plan. As long as things are going smoothly, lightly scuff with a scotch pad (not sand paper) between coats only if needed. Keep those film thicknesses to a maximum. If you get good prime coats and color coats on there without issue, chances are a few light coats of clear and one final wet coat will seal the deal. Done.
