YOu can re-clear at any time, but if you have already wet(color) sanded go back over the tank and re-sand it with 800g to get good mechanical bond, then add your color to the tips you mentioned, and then re-clear. I always heard that you can not clear over One Shot, but there are some prods. from HOK that I know you can. I believe you add a catalyst to them.
I was just looking at some product data sheets for a couple of basecoats. Each indicated they should be clearcoated within 7 days, or you should remove the basecoat and start over.
The key to using any paint product, and having it perform as the paint manufacturer indicates, is to follow the product data sheet.
You can, and many painters (especially custom painters), do things contrary to the manufacturer's recommendations. Some times it all works out fine. Some times it turns into a disaster. Some times it looks like it worked out fine, then the clear starts peeling 6 months later. ... Depending on the project, you may or may not be willing to take a risk on having it blow up.
