The instructions on the tin says to leave for 24 hours before overcoating. But with gloss you usually should rub down inbetween coats to create a key for the next coat. But with such small parts, you can't get to all the surfaces. So, will the paint adhere to the first coat as the paint is still fresh. Garry
