    I would leave it as long as possible, make sure they fully dry. Did you leave it a long time to dry between coats?

    leave them a good week mate tbh a few weeks in this weather, especially with salt being on the road

    laquer takes about 4 - 7 days to fully cure

    if you put them on too soon, it may look dry and feel dry, but you start pushing the car youll soon see that the brake dust isnt surface dust... it will settle into your laquer... something you dont want
