Thanks for the feedback Fred.

If you don't do any rubbing out of the finish, how do you deal with overspray?  Or has that got more to do with the lacquer/thinner ratio?

If you spray with slow dry thinner in your clear any over spray will melt back into the clear. you cant do this using spray can clear on large surface, if you get over spray (dryness) make sure your gun is adjusted properly on your pattern . pattern should be around 6 inches or larger . pattern is the fan shape that comes out of nozzle and keep ( air pressure) around 25-32 pounds. Never spray with pressure to high. Over spray is caused your paint is starting to dry before  hits the surface so slow it down with slow dry thinner or retarder. To deal with overspray you really have to sand it smooth and re clear. You can try spraying straight  retarder over the area and that should remelt the over spray abit. Retarder is a additive for your clearcoat that will slow the drying time and gets rid of over spray , dryness , solvent pop, cloudiness, when temps are hot and humid. Dont use it when its temp are cool and damp, use fast thinner when cool outside.
