Default How long between colors?

Shortcourse body, pactra ratle cans. Red is drying now, 10 min and it feels very dry to the touch. Could I paint the white in a few hours or should I just wait till tomorrow? I do not want a pink truck.

Hit it with a hair dryer, and go at it.

Right now its hanging 4 feet from an electric heater. Its dry to the touch in 4 min thats why I wondered. I have been keeping an eye on the temp and its only 95 inside the body.

regardless of how long you let it dry this will not determine if it comes out pink... what makes it pink is not enough red. when you put down the red put down enough to keep it red and not turn it pink. once you hit it with a heat gun its ready for the next coat/ color
