How long before I can rub down cellulose paint?

As the title says, really - I've just resprayed my scuttle today, and it will need a little attention with the rubbing compound to sort out some over-spray (I'm a rubbish painter!).

Seem to remember leaving mine overnight before flatting.

48 hours or 24 if its a warm place.

48hrs at room temperature will be ok if you can get in some sunshine it will be even better .

It had a few hours in the warm sunshine this afternoon. I'll try to do the same tomorrow afternoon and then (maybe) I can rub it down on Sunday or Monday.

Thanks to all,
David
