Default How long to wait for interior paint to dry?

I rewired my car for the radio so while I was doing that I figured I would go ahead and paint my interior. I put a few coats on so I was wondering how long I should wait to start putting it back together. I understand the top coat may feel dry but the coats underneath may not be yet. How long should I wait for everything to cure? A few days?

I just want to make sure I dont start too soon and risk easily scratching something. I would rather give it the extra time.







I also painted the kick panels and the panels in the back.

You answered your own question. Wait. Give it a chance to harden. Tackle something else in the meantime. Looks good.

Looks good! I like your glove box, it isn't half eaten with a dead mouse in it.

(Yes, that's what I found in my glove box.)
