Think I used two or three thin coats followed by a final wet one. Had no problems at all.
Since, as you say, the yellow is translucent, it needs the bright white underneath to bring the full brilliance out.

I started with a pure white plastic body, so laid a thin coat of white primer, and that was it.. My primer was thin, and I missed the second primer coat.
Tomorrow I'll put another coat on, but it perhaps won't be a REALLY wet coat, more of a coverage coat, and I'll just have to polish the orange peel out, if I get any... Darn hard to apply yellow.. Why did I select yellow...???...!!!!!!
