I just shot some Scale Finishes gloss enamel on my Trumpeter GT40 build. What is the drying time on the gloss enamel? I'm not planning on clear coating, but I will be polishing out the paint. How hard does this stuff dry? Is it similar to or harder than, say, Tamiya lacquer?

Drying time: give it at least a day, possibly two if it's humid where you are.

With enamels, I generally wait 2-3 weeks before polishing to make sure they fully catalyze.

Alternately, if you have dehydrator, it'll cure fully in 24-30 hours. The curing can also be accelerated with a hair dryer on low.
