I've always done mine with hammerite and as said left 20 mins between coats and then left it for a few hours before I drove the car. Never had a problem.

What paint are you going to use ??
Hammerite won't be fully dry in 20 mins, it'll still be tacky. I left it it about an hour & a half between coats (I did two)
Then after the last, I left it over night before putting the wheels back on.

After 2 hrs, mine still tacky. Just cracked a can of cider open, so after another can i will do the 2nd coat come what may

Then leave 24hrs the web says

(I appreciate this is a bit of a resurecting the dead thread. LOL)
