paint drying times

[lotcort]

Does anyone know generally how long you should wait for different stages of paint on a car. E.g. the time between primer, paint, & lacquer, if the car was sprayed in a professional Would be interested to know, thanks.
been told it would take 1 & 1/2 days to do a quarter panel, but seems a bit quick
thanks!

Primer, unheated you want over night. Heated it can be bake dried in 2/3 hours.

Base coat, give 15/20 mins flash off between last coat of base and lacquer.

You want lacquer even if heat dried it will still be soft for a few hours...

thanks, so take it after its painted you should avoid polishing for a good while the paint hardens?

If your heat drying it, give it a few hours min. And check how hard it is.

If its air drying, give it a day or so.
