    Wondering how fast the primer dries. Just thinknig ahead and if i can spray one side, then flip it over to do the other side in the same night.

    Epoxy takes longer to dry than regular primer. Takes longer to set up, you can handle it after maybe an hour at most but it might not take much abuse for a couple of hours. You might be better off doing one side a night. I assume your talking about like after work?

    Yeah, i am going to paint the one side tonight, then if have to, do the other tomorrow. then the next night spray the paint, and then the next night the other side. just takes a bit of time, but i guess it is best to just let it do its job. Maybe i should just get a large powder coating booth and do that, that stuff drys pretty quick :)
