The furniture has currently been drying for an hour.

there are a couple of things to consider in this situation. What's the relative humidity ? How thick of a coat did you put on ? Do you plan to "layer" the paint (use more than one coat) ? How much was the paint diluted before spraying ? Applies to using a paint gun vs out of can Short answer - it takes as long as it will take. In your situation, I'd wait at least one hour (or more) for primer I'd wait even longer for the final coat since, it takes quite a while for paint to completely dry.

Enamels should dry in a matter of 10 - 15 minutes if it isn't too humid and there is some air movement. That's to the touch and for recoat. Curing for harder use and to fully outgas takes a good 8 - 24 hours. You might have put it on too thick, not prepped the surface properly or it might just be really humid. Should always apply several light coats and a final flow coat just a little heavier within the recoat window it states on the can.

it don,t take too long for primer to dry but it also depends on the weather too ! if it,s cold outside then it,s going to take longer to dry ! another thing is that drying is not the same as setting to the metal ! just because it,s dry don,t mean it,s set to the metal ! once you primer it give it about an hour or 2 before painting them !

lacquers dry by evaporation enamels cure by oxidation, if enamel set the part in the sun it will cure quicker and harder, let the lacquer dry with a fan blowing over it. Read the label to find out what you have.

It should tell you on the can.
Will take longer if it's humid. bring a fan into the equation.
