Hi, I'm new to these forums, and kind of just signed up to ask this because people on here are much more knowledgeable about painting than on other BMX forums I frequent.
So I've been painting my BMX frame, and I have a quick question.

I put down like two coats of color after my white primer, but I want to get some more for thickness because I want to sand it a little before clear coating because I'm taking some very long waits in between colors and clear.

The problem is my spray can started ****ting the bed while putting on the 3rd color coat, but the color has pretty much covered everything. Is it important that I get a new can to coat for thickness, or is fine as long as I have all of the primer covered?
