Auto body repair & detailing/question on clear coating

Question
what clear coat can I use at room temperature in my garage
without a paint booth. I already painted the motorcycle
fairing made of fiberglass with a PPG two stage paint job.
The clear I used takes a couple days to dry. Can you suggest
anything that will dry faster. Thank you for your time.
Joe


Answer
JOE...THERE ARE A LOT OF CLEARS ON THE MARKET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE USED A REDUCER THAT TAKES TIME TO CURE.

I KNOW DUPONT HAS A SUPER FAST CLEAR BUT IT FLASHES REALLY FAST. IT IS DESIGNED FOR SMALL REPAIR AREAS. YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME BETTER LUCK WITH THAT BUT YOU HAVE TO MOVE REALLY FAST WHEN SPRAYING.
