How hard to give a cheap paint job?

I just painted a bass with Duplicolor and was able to wet sand in two days. ImageUploadedByTalkBass1368697516.818200.jpgImageUploadedByTalkBass1368697527.937669.jpg
Used Duplicolor Perfect Match color and Duplicolor clear. No issues at all.

I'll second that, I've used Duplicolor on several projects and the curing time has been fine.
2-3 days before sanding/buffing and then a week or so before I let it set on anything for an extended period of time.

Hope thats the case. Some people report quick curing times, others complain how long it took. I'm betting those with issues were just problems with technique and or environment. Spraying too thick and too often, high humidity, low temperatures, etc.
I plan to use it on an Esquire tele I've got parts for, just need to get started.
