the thing is ive read somewhere that you cant get primer wet,

SO now i'm thinking if you wetsand / drysand in-between coats

how will you get the paint to dry if ur wet sanding ??
or
how will you get the sand dust off if your dry sanding , without washing it off with water ??

probably what I read was bullcrap , since your paint job obviously came out :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: ,

THANKS

- Fri Jun 07, 2013 5:05 am #332598 what would you say is the ideal wait for the paint to dry between coats before sanding,

I was thinking a coat a day then sand it the next morning ?? i've read up on so many DIY threads but not really sure about this though.

It all depends on the type of paint, how thick you lay it down, the humidity & temperature...

There should be approximate dry times in the instructions on the paint, as well as re-coat windows.
