It may not be designed for use on metals. Check with your Local Hobby Shop (LHS) for paints made for metal minitures. <br /> <br /> The reason I recommend such a long drying period is to allow the solvents in the paint, arcylics, enamels and lacquers, to "de-air" and the paint will be at its maximum bonding potential.
