You might want to try wet sanding the primer back with 400-600 grit. Use 1000grit between colour coats if you get any runs. 1000 grit on the primer may leave it to smoothe for the paint to adhere properly. Mind you it is very dependant on the quality of the paints that you are using. And Yang, as for the primer cure time, you could always try reading the label of whatever primer you buy, they are all different and all require different amounts of time to cure properly.

Yang keep the multi colour theme going, just add red (i think) and your interior will match the wiggles.....
