Im thinking the lacquer need to fully harden? Would that take abit longer than 15mins?

I dont wanna fit it into the car and something go buggar up.

Think I should wait till Friday to fit it then or should it be ok tommrow?

you'll be alright as long as its not taking any sharp knocks
dont polish it or spray any cleaner on it for a while though say around a week and that will ensure 100% hardened

half an hour to be properly touch dry however its recommended that you wait at least a week or 2 for it to fully set and harden.

Cellulose lacquer never truly hardens tbh. I've got some which has been on for months and it's still soft enough that you can put a deep scratch in just with your finger nail. For me Halfords lacquer gets 0/10, absolute crap.

Halford lacquer is rather poor, i used about 5 coats of it on some wheels i refurbished, and stone chips were appearing not long after, and they were left to harden for a couple of days too

 

[Johno please?]
