Quick question..... Going to spray rustoleum on the rig tonight. I've always rolled and tipped. Thinning with acetone like the can instructs and using majic harderner in it. What should I wait between coats? I've had nightmares with rattle cans with the under coats wrinkling when not trimming the second coats right. I generally wait till it tacks up and hit it with another coat. FYI. It's 70 now, low of 40 tonight and 75 tomorrow.

I have always waited at least an hour between coats when spraying anything

Check the label of your can.
You can also request the MSDS from your paint dealer. (In the US they have to have them available by Federal Law)

There's no quick re-coat window listed on my can of Rustoleum Professional. (a couple of years old) Wait 24+ hrs is all that is listed.
With the added acetone + cycling to low temperature, I'd add a day to be sure.

Always check the label.
