So my batting order would be:

1) Get both coats BIN on today
2) Buy paint today and determine thinning amount for your equipment by
testing it out on some scrap, or my favorite, glossy cardboard. Both
first and second coats should be applied at about 4 mil thick, which
will give you a cured surface of about 1.5 mil per coat. Your goal is
3 mil finished when both coats are cured. Remember, a dollar bill is
about three mil, so just a bit thicker than that. (Seriously, with
this stuff you could probably go 5 - 6 mil of thinned product, but it
would take too long to dry)
3) Tomorrow, inspect surface in the morning for an settling dust or
bugs and spray first coat. NO sanding, NO scuff sand, NOTHING unless
you need to remove a bug, a nib or flatten a drip. Try brushing off
an contaminants, and only use 320 g and light strokes if you need to
sand
4) Last thing before going to bed, spray second coat. inspect surface
in the morning for an settling dust or bugs and spray first coat. NO
sanding, NO scuff sand, NOTHING unless you need to remove a bug, a nib
or flatten a drip. Try brushing off an contaminants, and only use 320
g and light strokes if you need to sand.

Remember, paint the detailed cornice work first, then the flats when
spraying anything.

Your project will be dry to the touch when you get up. If you can,
bring it in the house and let it sit out of the way Sat and Sun in a
controlled temp/humidity environment.

This will give it more than 60 hours of total dry time, probably
closer to 65 if you time it correctly. Last coat 6 pm on Friday, and
if you deliver around noon on Mon, that would be about 12 in the
garage, and another 50+ in a controlled environment, your house, to
dry until delivery.

No hill for a climber, eh? Problem solved using all locally available
products.

I have to deliver this puppy Monday morning.

As you can see... not a problem.

Any input is mucho appreciated (Wabbut ... hope you are not too es
spensive.)

I come there one time to paint one time but you say TOO HIY. You TOO
HIY!! Too spensive!! I no pay!!

Seriously, call me on my cell if you have any problemos.
