enamel drying time.

how long should i wait for revell enamels to dry. i have done the final wet coat. how long will this take to fully cure and be safe to handel or maybe even sand, re-paint?

I used some gloss Revel enamels on a piece of styrene, they were touch dry after about 24 hours! Matt paints dry reasonably quickly touch dry after 6 hours - and dry after 24 but allow a couple of days for gloss paints prior to any sanding.
