What kind of primer and paint are you using? Also, what is it you're painting exactly, is it something really big?
Three coats each seems really thick to me.
I've done both, but I'm more use to painting metal rather than plastic.
I don't really paint plastic.
Quality of paint types always varies, what does the back of the can of both primer and paint you're using say?
I'm use to sanding things, washing them, making sure they are absolutely dry and that there's nothing that would at all interfere with the coating.
You shouldn't need a heck load of primer.
Also, after finishing up with the primer, it'd be safe to wait 10-30mins, I know it can be funky if it's not quite dry.
- WAIT.
What. Wait. Three coats of primer, three coats of paint, then three coats of clear?
Don'tdothat.
Please. It'd be really nice to know what you're painting (and paint/primer brands).
Because three coats of both primer and paint goes against what I've been taught and done.
But it might depend on what you're painting, and what you're using to paint.
