How many coats of paint for a motorcycle frame?

Question:
I've painted a motorcycle frame with spray cans and it looks fine. I put one coat of paint on about two weeks ago. My question is, how many coats should I apply and how long should I wait for the paint to cure before putting the cycle back together?

I'd think at least one coat of primer and two coats of the paint you want for the color of the body. It'd depend on the weather and where you're painting it and what the temperature is. The warmer the better. I'd give at least a day,or two between coats, including primer. Check the cans to see what they say as different manufacturers have different specs.Don't forget to ventilate and wear safety equipment.

I would powder coat it. Less of a chance of chipping.

Probably 2 coats but no more than 3. I'd wait at least 48 hours before you start reassembling. If it's in a cold place maybe ever 72 hours.
