    Where did you get the paint from? Metallic is normally meant to have clear on top, but there are some really old paints that didn't have. Unfortunately if you were supposed to put clear on and you left it longer than 24 hours the clear you do eventually put on may not take that well. All you can do is give it a go and hope for the best.

    Yes I think you need to contact the supplier, 99.9% of metallic sold these days needs clear on top. You are right you can just flat what's there and put more metallic on then your clear in the right time window.
