Appreciation post: A painter told me my clear coat was too thick and it saved a job

I was spraying a 2020 Civic's hood and thought more clear meant better shine, but the guy mixing paint next to me said 'You're laying it on like syrup, it's gonna orange peel.' I switched to three lighter coats with a longer flash time and the finish came out glass-smooth. How do you judge the right amount of clear on a panel?
