When stripping down an old control panel and hitting it with a coat of Rustoleum or what-have-you, how long do you usually wait before applying the new overlay? I tend to get really impatient, so I'm just curious how long everyone else usually waits.
 
I usually end up waiting 6 - 12 weeks after painting. Not because I should, only because I never seem to have the time to finish it up. I've got two painted ones from April waiting for the overlays to be put on.

But retroACTIVE's comment is good advice. 24 hours minimum is good, but 48 is safer.
