If you're using automotive paint, NO, do not sand the basecoat.
Wait 30 minutes, and then spray the clear.
If it's a metallic color, you'll screw up the flakes by sanding.
The only time you'd need to sand the basecoat is if you let it dry longer than 24 hours.
At that point, you'd sand and apply another coat of basecoat color before applying the clear.
You'd have to use a pre-matted clear or add flattener to the clearcoat.

I'm pretty sure he's not use automotive paint. He last sprayed it two days ago. Should he apply a third coat or wet sand and clear coat? The paint currently o the bike is slightly rougher than he wants it to be. Will the clear coat smooth out those imperfections?
