All I can say is follow the manufactures instructions. I’ve been in the application finishing business for 15 yrs. Be vary careful applying multiple coats before the proper drying time. You could wrinkle (or orange peel) the finish reacting with the coat below.

thanx
the can didnt specify the amount of coats so i put 3, in 20 minute intervals. like the can said and it looks good. what about if i want to change the color, do i paint over it or take it off. and can i get it off if possible. thanx

When I painted car parts (misc exterior parts), smoked taillights, etc, I waited 30-45 minutes between coats and waited even longer to do the clear coat. Also depends on the weather outside. If it is too cold or too hot, that can effect paint healing time.

what i did was touch the paint from like the back where no onne can see and it was dry to the touch in 20-25 min.
