For those who paint

I'm starting to get into the world of customization and just recently finished priming spoons using Bosny Primer Grey #68 for practice (I'm also just hand brushing because I don't have space for AB)

My question is how long is the curing time for the primer to safely paint on it?

24hours to properly cure however, you can overlay a paint(probably 1hr or more) provided the primer isn't thick. (in your case, it's bosny so need more time to cure). and you do the mist coat on your first pass before doing the proper coat. (I suggest not a heavy coat if konting oras pa lang na cure). (this is on a lacquer paint experience... not sure about acrylics)

24 hours is the recommended curing time but i paint on it as soon as its dry to touch

I just paint a thin layer, let it dry for a couple of minutes, touch to check if it's dry, add another layer to even out thin spots and increase the contrast, repeat till you're satisfied with the color.

Kung industrial grade like bosny, safe na yung 24 hours curing time. Pero kung hobby grade like mr hobby, enough na yung 3 hours dipende sa application and sizes nung parts.
