Oh no. I have plenty of respect for people. I don't take kindly to wise comments. I give what I receive.

Well how else was he supposed to answer the question? To have multiple layers of something you spray it on, let it dry, spray again.

When you paint you apply a layer. Let it flash, usually for about 15-20 min. depending on the manufacturer. Apply anouther, let it flash, apply anouther, let flash, and so on.

I was planning on color sanding but never got around to it. Even if you aren't going to color sand the finish I would prefer to have one extra coat of clear (so total of 3) to allow for scratches to be lightly sanded and buffed out.

Take a look at custom paint jobs. 30 + coats of clear are not uncommon. Mind you they are applied a few at a time sanded then more applied. So unless you are putting on tons of clear at a time the clear does not become more brittle.

This was the answer I was looking for. So many people think that they can just blast layers upon layers of clear coat, when the proper way to do it is usually 4 coats. let it cure, sand it all down again, apply another 4 coats, sand it down once more. another 4 coats then cut and polish it.

Either you don't know what your talking about or your a real amateur. You must be one of these guys that wants a 12 to 16 coats of clear. Listen bud...educate yourself before entering a conversation that you have no clue about.

So ahhh, I guess the comment about about being an amateur or uneducated was unfounded then huh?

Next time before making broad statements about people you don't know, you should maybe find out who they are first.
