I will say 1) eight. This is based on my 1987 that had primer (perhaps two coats) plus three coats each of color lacquer and clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studegary Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Now that I think about it, I do not believe that there is a single number answer. At that time, they sanded between coats to get "perfection". To get the finish that they desired, it may have required additional color coats.

I agree with you that the number of primer/paint coats may vary for whatever reason, however there apparently was a specific amount of coats, hand sanded between, that was expected to be applied to 'Altman Avantis' Any other thoughts here?
