I would suggest at least a week for shrinkage to occur.. I am planning on waiting Two Just in case.. Of course my car will be inside the whole time, and out of the "Elements" but I've seen examples of blocking and painting too fast.. Looks like the arizona desert!

With K200 I block the next day, because if you wait too long it is like trying to sand concrete!

With urethane primers that aren't sprayed a 1/4 inch thick HAHA. Can be sanded the following day.
