Hi, I've tried to refurbish my old wheels for the first time now.
I sanded them, sprayed the primer, sanded again and painted them with 4 coats of gloss black. (Spray cans from Woodies)
After that, I ran out of time and didn't spray any clear coat on them.
Can I do it next weekend? (5 days after painting them)
Or I need to sand them again and spray with base paint?
Btw wheels are inside my house, so I guess they are drying slowly.

I added some pics of the process

You don't need to do anything except with a lint-free towel wipe them perfectly clean and dry, then apply the clearcoat at your leisure.
In fact waiting until the paint is perfectly dry is a good idea.
