It depends on temperature and humidity. If you're in a humid area you need to give it more time. You didn't say what you were panting but the best results are going to be if you let the preceding coat dry.

I concur with several other responders. Unless the temperature is on the high side and the humidity on the low side wherever you're painting, putting on a second coat before the first coat completely cures is going to result in a poor finish.

I really wouldn't recommend doing it any sooner than the recommended time as gloss paint is very easy to mess up.

no I don't think so. sorry 16 hours is 16 hours, no rush jobs or the paint would bubble. really don't know of any other advice i could give you, if you had asked b4 you started i might of been able to help you.

Well you can,,,,, as soon as the 1st coat is no longer liqued then another coat can go on.

If you try to do it any faster then the recommended timings, it will end up looking rubbish!
