So far so good. Was as easy as you said to take apart. Hit it with the 320 grit and just sprayed the self etching primer.
Looking forward to this project! Thanks again for the write up!
To be honest, I don't wait an entire day usually, but it does heed the best results. The primers dry really fast and they are base coats anyway, so I would say give them a few hours (maybe 3-4) between coats. The main thing that takes a while is going to be clear coat. If you don't give it a while to dry you'll notice it is "soft" and sticky. You may reassemble it and find that when you flip it open the clear coat wasn't dry and it pulls a little paint off of the lid (I've done it, it sucks).
