Starzi I would say about 45 min to 60 min for dry time between coates would be safe, as long as its warm out, but luckly its summer now lol...

i took a trip to autozone today and found these 3 cans of paint.now wich paint do we use first? i know we use the adhesive first then trim paint. but what about the bumpers? do we use the adheasive then bumperpaint? or do we have to sand the bumper beforehand.?
