In my recent experience, "adequate drying between" in the UK is 24 hrs in a warm ventilated place for the first coat, then 36-48 hours between coats. Of course, if we get what passes for a heatwave in the UK (nudging 25°C) next week.... Not a good idea to leave it outside - you'd be amazed how much cr4p the slightest puff of wind swirls around close to the ground.
2012 Subaru Forester - capable but no magic carpet
2011 Grand C4 Picasso VTR+ 1.6HDi - not missed!
1995 Xantia Estate SX 1.9TD in Vert Vega "The Green Lady" - sadly missed
1998 Xantia 2.1 VXD Estate in Mauritius Blue - R.I.P. (terminal tin-worm)
