As Junkman mentioned, different combinations of different products can have different curing times.

Bingo.
Sometimes the managers don't know their bunghole from a crescent wrench. They got their position because they are a member of the owner's family and haven't painted one car a day in their life. They pretty much go on hearsay (what they hear the painters talking about), and don't get the whole story. As you can see, I have painted cars before, including my own (the thread about WHY I had to repaint it is
located here). My father did body work for 40 years so I've been exposed to this every since I was old enough to have a memory.
