Shop pictures
This is a launch rail I made for rockets up to 500 lbs. The C Clamp was for mock up. This shows the front of the shop a little better.
I don't fly much anymore.

If I worked in your shop I'd never get anything done. You've got too many cool toys there.

Nice shop! It's way cleaner than mine The rocket is too cool!
Scenario 1) If your fairing is perfect, roll on a coat of primer. When the primer is dry to the touch, put on another coat without sanding. At this point, I would let the primer dry completely overnight and lightly sand. Roll on a final coat or two of primer and let it dry. Lightly sand and you are ready for paint. I have alway gave the final coat of primer a week to dry before paint.
Scenario 2) If you are not satisfied with the first prime coat, (pinholes, etc) you may have to do touch up filling and sanding between coats. Let the each coat of primer dry completely before touching up defects with fairing compound. At this point, it takes as many coats as it takes to get happy...
It depends.
