Use the recommended shade of sealer. Don't tint it by dumping basecoat into it. Do not mix products that aren't meant to be mixed.

Follow the directions when it comes to flash times. Get the proper reducer and catalyst for your temperature/humidity.

More film build means it is more prone to chipping and cracking. Applying too much clear can lead to solvent pop and die back. If the sheet for the clear says two full wet coats, give it two full wet coats.

For base, medium coats with ~50% overlap until full coverage is achieved, or whatever the sheet says if it says something different.

Manufacturers take lots of time to make sure that the information and procedures on their sheets will give you the best results. If you don't follow their procedures, it's not their fault if it doesn't give the intended results.

The only variables should be your techniques and equipment. Not the material itself.
100% great advice!
