How long should a water slide decal logo be allowed to dry before coating with nitro lacquer?

I allowed twenty four hours.

That would be 18 hours in Alabama, since you are 6 hours ahead of us. :lol:

Just kidding. Thanks for the reply. 24 hours was my plan.

Just did a few for a guy recently on a repair job. The instruction said 24hrs (as has already been stated). After that I proceeded with my regular finishing schedule.

Thanks, Josh and Mike. I waited, i sprayed it, and it looks great. A few more coats needed to blend it in.

My experience is that the first coat you spray on should be light.

I once sprayed a heavy first cost on and the decal edges lifted.
