took car of a few little marks in my Lupo fron twing, primed it, base coat and used 1K clear coat on it last night and to be honest even though it was sprayed in my garage im quiet pleased with the level of shine. It will of course need flatting and a polish up, but how long shall i give it ? typically i use cellulose on my older cars so dont really have a clue on this modern paint stuff !!

It'll be manufacturer specific, so best to refer back to your TDS for the product in question.
Of course drying aids will also alter your timings.

20 mins with an IR is usually long enough for any decent 2k.
