I just bought a new, outside rearview mirror for my car but I need to spray-paint the mirror before I bolt it to the car door.

The directions on the spray cans of Dupli-Color Perfect Match paint say to allow "sufficient" time for the paint to dry between coats.

How many minutes/hours of dry-time should I allow between:

* each coat of Scratch Filler Primer

* the last coat of the primer and the first coat of the color paint

* each coat of the color paint

* the last coat of the color coat and the first coat of the clear coat

* each coat of the clear coat

* the last coat of the clear coat and installation.

Thanks,

Last time I did a little spray job like that, I allows 10 minutes
between primer coats, then a half hour to the finish, then a half hour
to the clear coat.

In your case, I;d wait a bit longer, even overnight from primer to
finish if you can.

There are some paints that will say to coat withing an hour or wait at
least 12 hours, but if not stated, it probaly does not matter.
