To avoid a bubbling mess after lacquer has been sprayed, you should always remove any lacquer that has been applied and reapply a fresh coat.

Can you spray more clear coat the next day?
It all depends on whether or not the first spray coating has completely dried. A second coat of clear coating can be applied without having to remove the masking if it has already been applied. Spraying too close or too much is a no-no.
How long can you wait to spray clear coat?
To apply a clear coat, wait 30 minutes after the base coat color has dried. Apply four to five thin coats, allowing at least ten minutes between each. Once a coat is dry to the touch, it can be applied to the next.
Can you clear coat a week later?
Normally, the clear coat would be applied while the paint is still wet. As a result, the clear has something to latch onto. You’ll need to scuff the paint with some very fine sandpaper if you want to apply the clear coat.
Can you put clear coat over single stage paint?
Only a portion of each stage of an enamel paint job can be coated with clear coats. It is possible to use a single step to apply a 2K clear coat between drying stages.
Do you wet sand before clear coat
Before actually applying the clear coat, wet sand the base coat. Surfaces are smoothed out with wet sanding. It’s a common step in polishing automobiles and other items. The vehicle should actually be washed with soap and water after the base coat has been sanded, not before.
Can I spray clear coat over clear coat?
If the existing clear coat is in good condition, it can be painted over. Clear coat that has de-laminated or is otherwise compromised should be removed and replaced with a new base coat.
Do you put reducer in clear coat?
To avoid hardening the clear coat paint, use it within a few hours of application. Acrylic hardener and reducer should be used at all times when working with acrylics. More hardener means faster drying time for your paint. Add more hardener if you want a faster-drying clear coat.
