Quoted from Blackbeard:The paint says total dry time is two hours. But I wouldn’t apply to decals until well after that. And honestly there is only a couple of sprays that are sprayed on the sides
Fully cured and total dry time are two different things. All I know is I had painted a storefront in town and the sign guy came a few days later and put up some vinyl decals on the new paint, looked good for 6 months, then all the decals started peeling off and needed to be redone.
I would wait 14 days if you painted the sides fully with latex. If just a little latex on the side as I think you stated above I would at least wait 48hrs
