I have a steel Pulldozer frame. Have already laid down a primer,last night and we just got done about 2 hours ago putting our first coat of white glossy paint. Just wondering if we really need to wait like 48 hours for a COMPLETE dry before every coat? It says on the bottle 15-30 minutes till dry to touch...1-2 hours till you can handle and 48 hours till complete dry.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Time all depends on the paint, I only use Krylon for that reason only need like 5 min between thin coats, Use multiple light coats for a better finish, Also those rattle bomb trigger handels are the best thing since sliced bread they really help get rid of runs caused by your finger on the nozzel.

It probably depends on the paint like fryguy said. I'd do w/e the can says just to be safe. it would suck to have to re-do everything again.
