Duplicolor Engine Primer and Enamel Question

[Guest]

I picked up some Duplicolor Engine Enamel primer and paint. The coating window is before 1 hour and after 7 days.

What is the procedure when going from primer to paint?

Start paint within 1 hour of priming or wait 7 days after priming to let it cure?

Just wondering. Anyone used it before?

Been going through the same thing using Duplicolor.
I'm impatiant so I prime, wait 10 min or so and prime again.
Then after about an hour I paint, wait 10 min or so and put on a second coat.
So far so good, if it's going to gas out and make a mess I haven't seen it yet. (Yet)

Oh, no expert here............

I didn't use the engine primer (other stuff instead) but did follow the can's instructions to a point - had a lot of work to do to sand down the high bondo spots after applying the primer first.

You don't need much primer. A couple of light coats is plenty. If you spray the primer and it turns out nice, go ahead and shoot the paint after it flashes off: 15-20 minutes.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the help. I'll let you know how it turns out when it gets warm enough.
